This nature preserve is located three miles from downtown Buffalo. It is built above a landfill. The park contains 264 acres and is a sanctuary for birds, deer, fish and other marsh creatures. Fishing in the preserve is possible, but most visitors are bird watchers, photographers or people just out for a stroll in this conveniently located park. Aside from being a recreation area, Tifft also has programs that seek to educate people about nature, conservation and area ecosystems.
