Holt Preserve

Winifred Matthews Holt Preserve is a 148-acre property on the western face of Copeland Hill in the Town of New Scotland. The preserve is visible from Route 32 and from neighboring hills. The preserve rises at the edge of the flat area known as Indian Fields. Dr. William Holt and Winifred Matthews Holt donated this hillside to the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy in 1994.

Litter Barrel

Sometimes you find old litter barrels in the woods, from back when Conservation Department had such barrels and they regularly dumped them in dump sites in woods, before they implemented carry-in, carry-out and controlled landfills. This one has been turned into a burning barrel, at this campsite both for warm and disposal at this campsite near Robb Creek and Sacnadaga River.
