Labrador Hollow

David DuBois, Land Steward at Baltimore Woods Nature Center

Sunday, July 14th | 10 am – 3 pm

Labrador Hollow is an outstanding botanical area in Onondaga County contained within the Labrador Hollow Unique Area. The centerpiece is a kettle lake in the bottom of a deep glacial valley surrounded by cedar swamp and fens. This creates a botanically rich area where cooler loving northern plants like Snowberry (Gaultheria hispidula) and Labrador Tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum) intermingle with more southern elements like Early Azalea (Rhododendron prinophyllum). This is a habitat that was common throughout the valleys of central New York historically, but is now restricted to a few high-quality remnants like Labrador Hollow.

We will be doing some slogging through the cedar swamp. Due to its fragile environment, this field trip is limited to 10 participants.

If you have any questions about the trip before registering,  please email labrador@nyflora.org.
