Deer Lick near Gowanda, NY

The Nature Conservancy bought a beautiful piece of property near the Cattaraugus River I used to hang around at back in school at Buffalo University which became "Deer Lick". It is about 500 acres in an "econiche" of more southern species of plants and perhaps animals that are there due to the effects of the nearby Lake Erie it's thought. Unusual in a way, like the Tug Hill Plateau perhaps, though near to the only surviving natural stands of trees in the Eastern Woodlands, the Allegheny National Forest just over the border in Pennsylvania.
