Town of Macedon, Wayne County

This preserve is made up of an upland area of hardwoods, wildflowers and shrubs, the winding Ganargua Creek crossing a broad floodplain, and an open meadow where food and cover for birds and other animals is abundant. There is exceptional butterfly habitat in the meadow.

Donated in 1996 to Genesee Land Trust for preservation in honor of Tim Johnson, by his mother, Cynthia Kesselring and his step-father, Leo Kesselring.
