| In 2006,Thomas and Georgia Gosnell
donated a conservation easement along Lake Road to Genesee
Land Trust as part of a larger project of the Trust for Public
Land and the Town of Webster. Owned by the Gosnell family
since 1882, Big Woods, "a rare jewel" in this region,
has trees with girth several feet around, gnarled roots and
well textured trunks. The Gosnells have long recognized the
importance of these woods and have maintained them with as
little interference as possible.
Now the Big Woods
are a part of the Town of Webster's Gosnell Big Woods Preserve
and can be enjoyed public!
