 Huckleberry Swamp has closed for the winter. We are sorry for any inconvenience but due to hunting season we felt it necessary to close at this time. We will reopen in April and hope to see you all in the spring. Hope everyone has a safe and happy winter!! Elizabeth

 

                              

OFOF, Inc. proudly manages this 79 acres of diverse, high quality wetlands for bird and wildlife habitat conservation.  Huckleberry Swamp provides significant functions including storm water retention, groundwater recharge, wildlife habitat, and possibly rare plant habitat.  Resulting values include water quality improvement and opportunities for recreation, education and aesthetic appreciation (Environmental Design and Research, P.C. 1999). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have finished construction of Phase II of a wildlife observation deckand boardwalk that meanders through a variety of wetland habitats including emergent marsh, Green Ash Wetland, and Red Maple Wetland. Where possible, refurbished old barn wood has been used for wooden structures, like the arboretum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The site is located outside of the village of North Rose, NY
(between Syracuse and Rochester for you out-of-towners)
It's south of Sodus Bay. From Route 104, turn south on Brick Schoolhouse Road. Keep straight until the road ends at a T-intersection with Catchpole Road. Turn right on Catchpole Road, and Huckleberry Swamp is just ahead on the left...just look for our big green sign.

On June 30th we received Galerucella Beetles for release at Huckleberry Swamp. These beetles help control the Purple Loosestrife population. We had a great turnout for the release and we thank all of you that helped get 5000 beetles on to the Purple Loosestrife plants.
