West Hills flora and fauna include wild Mountain Laurel, Moccasin Flower, several fern species, salamanders, turtles, chipmunk, squirrel and red fox. Horses (both privately owned and leased from the on-site public Sweet Hills Stables) enjoy some of the finest and most picturesque bridle paths on Long Island at West Hills County Park. Camping at West Hills is offered to organized youth groups only. Campsites, lean-tos, and primitive shelters are available year-round. Cracker barrel on Friday night followed by orienteering Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon will include pioneering by creating ovens in camp, which will be used to bake Saturday evening's holiday treats. Saturday night will be a holiday celebration with treats and caroling. |
