Understory and ground cover is abundant with buckeye being common. Spring wildflowers are abundant (e.g. VA Bluebell, violets, May Apple, etc.). Forest birds are abundant and some aquatic or wetland species occur around ponds present on the site.

Wildlife to Watch:
Site is a great place to go birding within a major metropolitan area without having to travel very far. Mississippi Kites occur in spring and summer. Belted Kingfishers can be seen foraging on ponds and wetlands while frogs and turtles abound.
