Take a visual tour of some of Western New York’s most beautiful land preserved by the Nature Sanctuary Society of Western New York (NSSWNY). This group has preserved significant habitats since 1934 to protect rare species and sites of geological importance.

The seven sanctuaries owned by the Nature Sanctuary Society are prime examples of the region’s biodiverse natural heritage where study and scientific research are promoted and ongoing.  As an educational non-profit, NSSWNY hosts lectures and programs and engages in community outreach to encourage appreciation for the natural world. 

Join naturalist Jacqueline Courtney Swift to discover more about these beautiful preserves. She has been president of the organization since 2011 and is passionate about the Society’s mission of providing safe havens for the region’s unique flora, fauna, and geologic formations. 

Special Information: Bring a brown bag lunch to share afterward and enjoy the company of the speaker and fellow participants.
