Sap was once harvested from the maples here and boiled down into syrup. This beech/maple woods also includes tulip, sycamore, black cherry and blue ash — an unusual tree in the area. The grinding of glaciers over the area left several depressions that are now small ponds, the largest approximately an acre and a half. Flowering trillium blooms abundantly here in spring, and tall-grass prairie plants have been established in a field.
