Hart's Woods

Hart's Woods, possibly also known as Beechwoods Park, is located in Perinton, New York. It contains a pristine stand of beech-maple forest, which covered 47% of Perinton prior to settlement.[1] This type of forest with two dominant tree species thrives in areas of glacial till.

It is open to the public for hiking on its trail system.

It was declared a National Natural Landmark in June 1972.[2]
