Desirable Native Species:

At The Ganondagan State Historic Site, we are working towards removing invasive, non-native plant species from the park and replacing them with native that are significant to the Seneca culture. This will both promote biodiversity and help to keep invasive plants from coming back. You can help by donation native plant, which allows us to keep the project going on our limited budget!

If you have questions or are interested in donating plants to aid in our Invasive Species Project, you can email Emma Kubinski at [email protected]

Plants can be dropped off at the Visitor's Center. Park hours- Tuesday-Sunday, 9-5
