This property, owned by the W.H. Miner Research Institute, is the southeastern corner of the jack pine sandstone pavement barren, adjacent to the red oak-northern hardwood forest on Cobblestone Hill.

On this trip, we will visit a fen wetland in the abandoned dam and an oak-hemlock riparian forest. 90 species have been reported from this location in the springtime!

Join Trip leaders Ken Adams and Jack Peneston for a morning of birding and history in this very unique location. Birders of all experience levels are welcome. Group size limited to 12. Priority given to NNYA members.
