Etna Nature Preserve - Finger Lakes Land Trust
Översikt
The Etna Preserve, a few miles northeast of Ithaca, was donated to the Finger Lakes Land Trust in February of 1991 by Walter and Sally Spofford. They had lived there for many years and were avid birders. The Land Trust has maintained the existing trails on the land, and has also made new ones, including a bridge over one of the streams that runs through the preserve, using abandoned railroad rails.
Natural History
The Etna Preserve consists of approximately 11 acres of woods, wetlands, streams, and floodplains. Trails are located in places that complement the landscape and facilitate bird watching. Except for one short hill, trails are flat and easy, and go through a variety of habitat types. Hiking, jogging, and bird watching are popular at the preserve.
Approximately one acre of the preserve is on the west side of Route 366, and is mainly a floodplain for Fall Creek. The preserve is bordered on the west by Fall Creek and on the east by an old railroad bed.
Acreage: 11 acres
