Forest Floor Plants
Native wildflowers, ferns and other ground covers are found on the forest floor. Many of these plants are excellent additions to home gardens.
Trees
Tree species include American Beech, White Oak, Black Birch, Sassafras and Flowering Dogwood. Pay special attention to small seedlings and saplings which indicate healthy forest regeneration. These trees are able to survive deer browse due to the deer fence protection of these woods.
