Anna Hess, Field Biologist, completed an inventory of plants and animals in the forest during 2006. A management plan has been prepared using this information. In the spring there was a great profusion of wild flowers in the coves. Johnny Townsend of the Division of Natural Heritage was very helpful in species identification. Within the forested area the variety of plants and animals are very diverse. The 195 species include:
- 6 rare plants
- 15 invasive plants
- 8 amphibians: 2 frogs and 6 salamanders
- A number of neo-tropical birds including 1 that was rare
- 1 rare butterfly
- 0 invasive animal species
