The wooded part of the property includes wetlands, riparian forest, and two major upland forest habitats. The Lowland and Riparian Hardwoods are heavily influenced by local hydrology, with plant communities that reflect the occurrence of seasonal flooding, erosion, groundwater seepage, or other local dynamics. Better-drained soils may support a variety of hardwood species suited to local conditions, often dominated by pin oak, swamp white oak, shagbark hickory, and sweetgum. Poorly drained or inundated soils can include silver maple, sycamore, boxelder, musclewood, blackgum, sweetgum, red maple, black ash, river birch, green ash, bur oak (rare), cottonwood (rare). The Central Oak-Pine forests are found in dry to mesic conditions across a variety of sites, from low to high elevations. Dominant species in these forests include drought-tolerant oaks, especially northern red, white, black, chestnut, or scarlet oak. Eastern white pine, red maple, sassafras, pignut hickory, and mockernut hickory may also be present in some site conditions. Pines (pitch, red, shortleaf, Virginia) can outnumber oaks on exposed ridgetops and outcrops
