About This Trail

The preserve is characterized by heavy clay soils and slow drainage. The forested area was used as pasture as a result of the soil types. The forested areas with their standing water have a unique ecology. There are large Swamp White Oak and Green Ash in the woods. There are rare plants found here. The Wood Duck and Blue-wing Warblers are here.
