Spring Walk: Woodlawn Preserve

A beautiful selection of woodland, lacustrine, and pine barrens, with some of the largest dunes in the Albany Pine Bush and “one of the most biologically diverse parcels in Schenectady County” (Wikipedia).  Relatively flat though sometimes muddy.  Directions: Next door to Woodlawn Elementary School in the extreme southeast of the county, easily approached by following Gifford Road past the school to its end.  (441 Gifford Rd., Schenectady, NY 12304)
