Woodlawn Preserve, Protected natural area in Schenectady, United States
The Woodlawn Preserve maintains 135 acres of wetlands, sand dunes, and pitch pine-scrub oak barrens within the Albany Pine Bush ecosystem.
Established in 1969 as a forever wild land, the preserve has withstood multiple development proposals to maintain its natural state through community conservation efforts.
The preserve functions as an outdoor classroom where visitors learn about native ecosystems, rare plant species, and environmental conservation in Schenectady County.
Walking trails throughout the preserve allow visitors to explore different ecosystems while offering opportunities for nature observation and environmental research.
The site contains some of the largest sand dunes in the Albany Pine Bush and represents the last remaining example of this ecosystem in Schenectady.
