Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Todd Nature Reserve (formerly called Todd Sanctuary) is a 334-acre (135 ha) nature reserve owned and operated by the Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania. It is located in Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania; approximately thirty miles northeast of Pittsburgh, and five miles (8 km) north of Freeport. The original portion of the reserve was donated by noted ornithologist W.E. Clyde Todd, who made his first significant birding discoveries on the land while visiting his grandfather at the end of the nineteenth century. Todd went on to become the Curator of Birds at the Carnegie Museum, where he remained for most of his adult life. The nature reserve began in 1942 with Todd''s donation and has since been expanded to over 330. The most recent expansion included purchase of 42 acres (170,000 m2) which is planned to contain a trail named after the previous landowners. Todd Nature Reserve is the oldest in Western Pennsylvania, and one of the oldest reserves in the state.
