This nature preserve is said to be ?one of the most impressive places on Long Island to experience an evergreen ?forest cathedral'? of white pines. Prosser Pines is one of the oldest surviving plantations in the eastern United States. They were planted in 1812 from seedlings that came from Quebec, Canada in 1759. Hurricanes have blown down many of the original pines, but some still stand and other pines have naturally replaced those. It is located just across the street from Cathedral Pines County Park, with the same manager overseeing both sites.
