Wildlife Sightings

Greenbrook members who enjoy hiking the 6½ miles of trails in the sanctuary are encouraged to post their observations of flora and fauna on a bulletin board in the parking lot. These listings often alert fellow members to some of the more interesting sights on this portion of the Palisades. The table below is just a small sampling of the many wonderful natural history occurrences at Greenbrook.
