Hello fellow nature lovers and Skaneateles Conservation Area users, this blog is for us. Hear something? Write about it. See something? Let us know. Let's share our knowledge and experiences using the properties. On the east side of town the Skaneateles Conservation Areas include the Federal Farm, the Guppy Farm,and the O'Loughlin property which have been connected by a series of trails. On the southwest side of town, the Mabel Reynolds property stands undeveloped at the present but hopefully trails will be developed in the future.

I hope that all users of this blog will help record nature sightings as the years progress which can enhance all visits to these properties.

This must be the year of the fungi! So many varieties from the abundant moisture of late. I think these are spindle coral. They are located along the trail to the Guppy Falls.

The amount of fungi brings so much color to the forest floor and dead branches. This one was waist high.

All of the wet weather of late has created a plethora of fungi. We saw tan, red, white and these yellow fungi at Guppy Falls.

Whew, the deer flies were fierce today. Saw this fungus on a log close to the Bob Sykes trail.
