 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
deck and boardwalk
that will meander 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.
