We have acquired
the 60-acre Genesee Lake Road Tamarack Preserve, thanks to the
generosity of our members and supporters! This preserve abuts our 50
acre Summit Bog property and is home to many species of special
interest, including the showy lady's slipper (pictured on the right),
the woodcock, the blue-winged warbler, and the cerulean warbler.
We
are not quite finished. . .We still need to raise $21,250 to cover the
acquisition related costs (i.e. appraisal, survey, and legal fees) and
the first year stewardship and restoration costs. Once we protect
a piece land, we must care for it or it will degrade--destroying
the land we wanted to protect.
