Description

Rush Recreation and Park Association are the stewards of the Hundred Acres Nature Park in Monroe Co, NY, an oasis that borders the Genesee River for one mile. This is a "park-in-progress" Over the last five years we have nurtured and transformed some of the 40 acres of the park that were farmed by planting 253 native trees and bushes as well as native perennial pollinators. The 60 acres that were not farmed include old growth sections of forest and beautiful views along the Genesee River. We offer guided nature walks with wildlife experts. We offer education on invasive remediation. We stand as a testament to community driven conservation
