Most of the forest showcases different tree species and the value is detailed in the Timber section below. There are sections of wetlands in the forest with small brooks that flow southward through the property which vary from marsh grass areas to ponds and streams, and forested areas with cedar trees. This rich ecosystem would host a wide variety of bird and animal life for viewing with a myriad of songbirds, waterfowl, marsh dwelling birds with the occasional Bald Eagle found in this area. The forest ecosystem would attract bears, foxes, coyotes along with numerous deer due to the natural food sources of hemlock, oak, small saplings and edible ground cover. You might even spot an odd apple tree in the forest, as there is evidence of an old farmstead with stone walls and trails found within the forest's interior. On the western edge of the property at the end of the driveway, is an elevated peninsula that has been cleared and maintained, leaving a large open grass covered clearing perfect for a home or camp. The remaining open area provides a gentle slope towards the wetland with scenic views across it and towards the property's hardwood slopes to the south.
