A primary purpose of the Huyck Preserve is to protect the Ten-Mile Creek and Lake Myosotis watersheds and to provide an undeveloped area for scientific research, environmental education, and recreation. The Huyck Preserve protects over 2000 acres of wetland and forest habitats throughout this area.
The Huyck Preserve has ongoing research efforts as part of our conservation goals. As a founding member of the Ecological Monitoring and Management Alliance (EMMA), the Preserve is evaluating the impacts of white tailed deer populations and invasive species on the Preserve's forests and studying the phenology of native tree and understory species.
The Species Lists provide common and scientific names for many of the plant and animal species observed in the Preserve. If you see something not on the lists, please let us know!
Citizen Science efforts at the Preserve work to connect the public with research studies that will help us conserve and understand the habitats and ecosystems we are protecting. Citizen Science is a great way to get evolved, meet scientists, get up close with nature, and help collect data that makes a difference.
