Town of Caledonia, Livingston County |
| Description: |
Cattail and wooded wetland that is part of a much larger
(1000+ acres) wetland targeted by NYS DEC for protection.
The property is notable not only for its wildlife habitat
but also for its geological significance. Underlying the
wetland are unusual deposits of "marl" (a combination
of calcium and limestone) formed since the last glaciation
period approximately 10,000 years ago. |
| History: |
The Caledonia Wetland Preserve was donated to the Trust for permanent protection in 1991 by Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Rueger.
The preserve was renamed in August of 2010 in honor and in memory of Christine Sevilla. A long-time member and friend of the Trust, Christine was a greatly respected artist, educator, and environmentalist who had a great interest in wetland protection. |
