About Tiffany Creek Preserve

This 200-acre preserve on Long Island mixes several ecological communities, including old growth woodland, oak forest, open fields, freshwater wetlands and a large pond. The pond was acquired by Nassau County with Environmental Bond Act funding. The land sits within the Oyster Bay Special Groundwater Protection Area, the county's largest, which helps guard Long Island's sole source aquifer. About 250 additional acres of privately protected land surround it. Nassau County bought the parcels from the John M. Schiff family in 1992 with help from The Nature Conservancy, and the North Shore Land Alliance stewards 14 meadow acres. Visitors may spot green milkweed, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Gray Tree Frog, Atlantic white cedar and White-throated Sparrow.
