Fenner Conservation Pond

In 2023, the Fenner Conservation Club gifted a 5.59-acre property—including a portion of a pond—to the Cazenovia Preservation Foundation. The Club had decided to disband, and wished to convey the property to an organization that would continue to share it with the community.

Fenner Conservation Pond has been a place for public enjoyment of nature for over sixty years. Since acquiring the property, CPF has revamped the parking area, added a picnic table, and installed an information kiosk. The pond is open to the public from dawn until dusk for birding, fishing, picnicking, canoeing, kayaking, and quiet recreation. Fenner Conservation Pond is located at the corner of Cody Road and South Road in the Town Fenner.
