Guided Walk at Ganargua Creek Meadow Preserve
We were grateful to partner with the Genesee Land Trust for a creek and meadow walk. Genesee Land Trust Preserve Manager Will Macaluso shared the ongoing management of this Macedon preserve as we checked out the new trail bridge, identified wildflowers, caterpillars and butterflies. Elliotte Bowerman and Marissa Parker also joined us from GLT.
