Nature preserve covering 88 acres includes a 1.6 mile hiking trail. Dr. Edward Grandt, well-known Elmira physician, found a quiet refuge in this majestic forest for many years. In 2003, he generously donated his land to the Finger Lakes Land Trust. His goals were simple – to protect it in perpetuity and to share it with the public. For years, he maintained the trail system and a small scenic meadow.
