The Dyken Pond Environmental Center is owned by Rensselaer County and located in the towns of Berlin, Grafton and Poestenkill. One small parcel of about 30 acres south of Dyken Pond Road and west of Dustin Swamp is located in the northeast corner of Poestenkill. The Environmental Education Center offers a mixture of forest habitats, wetlands, small streams, and Dyken Pond. The area is rich in animal and plant life. The Poestenkill section of the Center was created in 1990 with the 10-acre Eischen parcel and added to in 1991 with 19 acres of the Mulson parcel. The Poestenkill section is crossed by the Long Trail and a loop trail. The trail crosses a western finger of Dustin Swamp, which is now a sedge meadow with a boardwalk. The Environmental Center holds public events regularly. The Center works with community groups that wish to use its facility and is open to the general public.
