- Washington Grove is notable for the height of its trees. It contained the tallest black oak in NY until it was felled. It is a popular birding hotspot in May. It has suffered in recent years because of overuse leading to erosion, soil compaction and trail widening; elimination of the duff later from earthworms; introduction of American chestnut blight, Dutch elm disease and butternut canker, compounded by the logging and other mismanagement of threatened trees; deer overpopulation due to the extermination of wolves and cougars early in Rochester’s settled history; the planting of nonnative sugar maples to “replace” the chestnuts; introduction of various understory plants that are native in species but nonnative themselves; the proliferation of invasive species such as Norway maple; the spread of brown-headed cowbirds parasitizing other birds’ nests; and unavailability of cyclic wildfires and other natural cycles. The understory is absent and most of its species are probably exterminated. The fact that the peak was entirely removed, while not pertaining to what we now call Washington Grove, likely exterminated species such as roundleaf dogwood. However, Washington grove is still perhaps the premier example of the unique ecology of the sandy slopes of the Pinnacle Range that is distinct from the surrounding clay lowlands.	+ Washington Grove is notable for the height of its trees.
