Greenburgh residents who enjoy nature and hiking are lucky. The Old Croton
Aqueduct, South County trail, Bronx River paths, Taxter Ridge park preserve,
Harts Brook Park and Preserve, Glenville Woods & Greenburgh Nature Center
are magnificant and beautiful properties.
Today, another jewel on the Hudson opened -- the O'Hara Nature Center. The
center, which is located off of Mountain Road (Mountain Road is a road that
connects to Taxter Road, E Irvington) has magnificant trails --connecting 400
acres of forested trails and ecosystems. When I attended the ribbon cutting
ceremony this morning - I was stunned by the beauty of the property --it's a
treasure! Please take a look at the new building and trails.
The new building, named for the O'Hara family (community leaders who lost
their lives in a plane crash ), is a model of energy efficiency and green design
(solar heating/cooling, rain water harvesting, thermal efficiency and
reflexivity). The property and trails are spectacular. I encourage residents
who enjoy nature to add this nature preserve to the list of trails you enjoy
hiking on. You won't be disappointed.
Congratulations to the village of Irvington and the hundreds of volunteers
and sponsors of the O'Hara Nature Center for their success. Generations to come
will enjoy and explore the woods, will be educated about nature and the
environment and will be inspired by the sustainable concepted used at the
center.
