Directions
The Teal property is a 13.3 acre parcel in Grafton that is now part of the Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center. Through a generous contribution from a local resident, the RLT purchased this parcel and donated it to Rensselaer County.
Much of the land consists of a wetland crossed by a long boardwalk, allowing observation of the wildlife. This was formerly a spruce-fir swamp but beaver activity raised the water level and converted it to sedge meadow and open water. The wetland is surrounded by a narrow band of balsam flats, a conifer forest type known primarily from the Adirondacks.
