The Westchester Land Trust (WLT) recently opened the new Mill River Preserve in Lewisboro, in Westchester County, NY to the public. The Preserve is accessible and connected by a trail from the neighboring 370-acre Leon Levy Preserve, which is owned by the Town of Lewisboro and protected with a WLT conservation easement.
The preserve’s loop trail offers a scenic, family-friendly experience that highlights the area’s many ecological features.
Featuring a diverse mix of wetlands, forest, and meadow habitats, Mill River Preserve is located within a watershed that supplies drinking water to local communities, adding further conservation value to this ecologically important land.
The land for the new preserve was originally donated in 2018 by a local developer.
You can find a map of the preserve here.
