OLD FIELD PRESERVE Waccabuc
Old Field Preserve in Waccabuc has 110 acres of habitat, trails and important watershed land. The property was listed as a priority for preservation in Lewisboro's open space plan, and is in priority area A of New York City's Croton Reservoir watershed.
The property access is on Mead Street in Waccabuc, by Schoolhouse Road, on the right hand side of Mead Street.
The Old Field Preserve derives its name from the five fields, at various stages of succession, that it encompasses. As forests mature in Westchester and meadows are converted to lawns and building lots, field habitats - and the species that rely on them - are becoming more rare. Those species include field sparrow, prairie warbler, indigo bunting, among many others.
