Trip Description
Baltimore Woods is a 270 acre nature preserve in Marcellus NY. The preserve sits upon deep glacial gravel deposits and supports an diversity of high quality habitats. These habitats support more than 500 vascular plant species and include an occurrence of Rich Sloping Fen, an uncommon ecological community in New York State. We will spend some time in rich woods and rich sloping fens looking at the plants that grow in these communities including the State Threatened Ohio Goldenrod (Solidago ohioensis) as well as many other fen specialists.
NYFA relies on the generous support of its members to offer free Field Trips and Learn 10 workshops. If you are able, please consider a donation to help support these efforts. Suggested Donation is $10.
