HIKING SITES NEW YORK EAST OF HUDSON
Dr. Patrick L. Cooney, former field chair of the Torrey Botanical Society
Here are plant lists (along with trip directions, history, and geology) for literally hundreds of natural areas within a Torrey Botanical Society region. Just click on the underlined areas!
If you need help finding a specific natural area: control F; then type in the name of the natural area; and click go or ok or hit carriage return (whatever is appropriate).
Warning: This website is very much in progress. But it is better to put the web on line now with what I have than wait for another five years when it will be much more the way it should be. It is still an excellent website, in spite of the warts.
If you want to add something or correct some really bad mistakes just e-mail me at:
I would like to thank the various people who helped out with many of the plant lists, including Karl Anderson of the Rancocas Nature Center and Dr. William Standaert for his many compilations of plants lists. I name a few of them in the section entitled Thank Yous:
