We will be walking this wetland preserve that has been developed by Seneca Meadows, Inc., a waste management and recycling company. This preserve is located in Seneca Falls, NY. It features several trails through diverse native plant communities that include emergent wet prairie, wet mesic prairie, forested wetlands and upland savannas and tall grass prairies. We will be walking the main loop and a couple of other trails (not the Heron Loop). Please wear sturdy footwear. It is a fairly flat walking trail, but it can be rocky with vegetation growing up thru it. Please bring a camera (I will have mine) if you want to capture pictures of the many wild flowers, some of which are fairly unique. The pace will be slow to medium. Please bring water, lunch/snacks, and sun hat, and sunscreen as much walking is under the sunshine! Option: After our hike we can take a ride thru the nearby Montezuma Wetland to see some of the birds and flora that may be about there.
