Muttontown Preserve:
Comprised of 550 acres of fields, woodlands, ponds and estate grounds, Muttontown Preserve is Nassau County’s largest nature preserve. Acquired in the late 1960’s, over 400 acres were purchased from the Lansdell Christie Estate. The Nature Center and the Chelsea Estate, donated by Mrs. Alexandra Moore McKay, sprawl across a 100 acre parcel; and a 20 acre parcel showing evidence of the pre-Revolutionary Duryea farm, was donated by Mrs. Paul Hammond.

The Bill Paterson Nature Center is the starting point for the preserve’s miles of marked nature trails, which may be interpreted with the aid of self-guiding maps and brochures on the local wildflowers, trees, birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians. The nature center offers a variety of guided public nature walks and school educational programs. The preserve, noted for its abundant and varied bird life, acts as a field station for botanical and wildlife studies and has been involved in several important reparations of local fauna. Cross-country ski trails offer a popular winter activity when weather permits, while the equestrian trails are open year-round for recreational enjoyment. A special horse van parking area is available.
