Acquired in 1963, this extensively wooded 6.45-acre floodplain tract lies along a scenic bend of Eighteenmile Creek within the village of Hamburg, bounded on the north by the creek and on the south by properties on Crescent Avenue, with access by a thirty-foot public right of way on the north side of Crescent Avenue. Anna Mae Bacon, a botanist and Hamburg High School science teacher known as the Bird Lady of Hamburg, and her husband John owned part of the property; she rehabilitated injured birds and planted species meant to attract them. The land was cultivated as a victory garden during World War II, and remnants of farming activity remain visible. Later, the Bacon family's son and his Cub Scout pack planted trees there, and volunteer groups continued plantings and trail construction. Restoration efforts in 2007 further developed the site. Its mature maple, oak, sycamore, yellow poplar, locust, willow, and white pine provide food and shelter for birds and animals, while wildflowers in the woods and meadow include clover, dandelion, garlic mustard, Queen Anne's lace, goldenrod, and ground ivy. The area serves as a stopover for migratory birds and a home for nesting species such as American Robins, Northern Cardinals, Blue Jays, Black-capped Chickadees, woodpeckers including the large pileated woodpecker, sparrows, nuthatches, brown creepers, mourning doves, dark-eyed juncos, great blue herons, and wild turkeys, and it also supports deer, small mammals, and occasional coyotes. About one mile of creekside and meadow trails allows visitors to enjoy a tranquil wooded setting near the village center, and the village government's actions in the 1960s together with recent restoration efforts have helped preserve it for residents and visitors.
