Brookdale Preserve

Brookdale Preserve, located in the Town of Chili, Monroe County, spans 275 acres and showcases diverse ecosystems, including wooded wetlands, an open wet meadow, and hardwood uplands. This nature preserve is notable for its floodplain forest, a rare ecological community in New York State, and offers a sanctuary for various plant and animal species.

The preserve features a 1.2-mile trail that traverses a mix of habitats, providing opportunities for hikers to experience the rich biodiversity, including migratory birds and an array of frogs. Originally agricultural land, Brookdale Preserve was donated to the Genesee Land Trust in 1998 and has since undergone natural succession, enhancing its ecological value.
