Program Description
Event Details
Join Yonkers NNORC & YPL on a guided tour of Lenoir Preserve, a 40 acre woodland preserve. It is adjacent to the Old Croton Aqueduct on slopes overlooking the Hudson River, providing spectacular views. The property was formerly home to two Hudson River estates and boasts a number of unusual specimen trees and shrubs imported from around the world. Among them are some magnificent copper beeches from Europe, gingko trees from Asia and Douglas firs from the Pacific Northwest. These imports join native sugar maples, red oaks, hemlocks, pines and tulip trees in providing shelter for many kinds of wildlife including woodpeckers, owls and bats.
Registration is REQUIRED. Meet at the Info Center where we will start the tour at 10:30am sharp.
Please wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and bring water, sunscreen, and a hat.
