I was glancing at google maps today to see where Mud Creek flowed north from Mertensia Park. I noticed the Genesee Land Trust property in Macedon and decided to make a visit (Friday, May 6, 2022). I did not find as many mertensia as I might have expected, but I did find a lovely large patch of white trillium. We entered at the north east corner (Wilkinson Road) and walked south along east trail.
