A Special Place 
Show and tell about places in nature that were, or are, important to you. Big majestic places, or everyday places.

Teatown Lake Reservation, NY

Who: Melanie
Where: Teatown Lake Reservation, NY

Why: Nature has a way of making us feel welcome and I think this trail really shows that. I have searched out places here in the suburbs of New York City where nature is winning against development.

This photo was taken at Teatown Lake Reservation, a nature preserve in Ossining, NY. Teatown is one of those places where one can drive a short distance from a densly-populated area and find a serene lake and wooded trails. It is set in the midst of suburban sprawl; that is what makes it so very special.
