Hart's Woods is a small forest 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. The 14-acre (5.7 ha) site was declared a National Natural Landmark in June 1972.[2]
Hart's Woods is open to the public for hiking on its trail system. It is operated by the Town of Perinton Recreation and Parks Department.[3]
