Monroe County Reforestation Program
The Monroe County Reforestation Program was an effort that planted 2,000 bare-root evergreen trees in Mendon Ponds Park. This initiative enhanced the forest
area and also will improve the environment over time. The New York State Department of Conservation donated the evergreen trees and welfare recipients planted
the trees as part of Monroe County’s Work Experience Program.
Mendon Ponds Park is the largest Monroe County Park with 2,500 acres of woodlands, ponds, wetlands and glacially created landforms. In 1969, it was named to the National Registry of Natural Landmarks due to its geologic history and presence of significant kames, eskers, and kettles.
