Sugar maple, several oak species and red cedar dominate the forest. The understory has telltale features of excess deer browsing in that it essentially lacks shrub species and consists of mostly maple saplings. Fox are frequently spotted in the park.
The trail system of the Preserve links this parcel to eight acres owned by the Wilton Land Conservation Trust to the South. Combined, the two properties offer a gentle walk with peaceful wood land views, stream side walking and in the springtime, the opportunity to observe a vernal pool. There is access to and from the Norwalk River Valley Trail just south of Raymond Lane.
