James Preserve

Last updated

The James Preserve (also known as the Darwin James Preserve [1] ) is a nature preserve located on Long Island in the village of Old Brookville in Nassau County, New York, and connected to Greenvale.

The 19.4-acre (7.9 ha) preserve was maintained by The Nature Conservancy [2] prior to being transferred to the North Shore Land Alliance in 2015. [1] People infer it was a former farm seeing as there are abandoned buildings, likely barns, with farming tools inside. It contains a swamp and a river with a bridge crossing over it. A trail within the preserve leads to Valentines Lane, which leads to another nature preserve, Louis C. Clark Sanctuary.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">North Shore (Long Island)</span> Area along Long Islands northern coast

The North Shore of Long Island is the area along the northern coast of New York's Long Island bordering Long Island Sound. Known for its extreme wealth and lavish estates, the North Shore exploded into affluence at the turn of the 20th century, earning it the nickname the Gold Coast. Historically, this term refers to the affluent coastline neighborhoods of the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay in Nassau County and Huntington in Suffolk County. Some definitions may also include the parts of Smithtown that face the Sound. The region is also largely coextensive with the Gold Coast region of Long Island, though this region excludes Smithtown, as the easternmost Gold Coast mansion is the Geissler Estate, located just west of Indian Hills Country Club in the Fort Salonga section of Huntington.
