The land is thick with hardwoods like ironwood and black oak, and sugar maple. The land that is contiguous with more than 3,000 acres of protected conservation properties is bisected by Doolittle Brook, a river directed by a rocky landscape and an industrious colony of beavers and is stocked annually with trout in the spring. At a higher level, a spring-fed brook washes down the mountain and is a resource of fresh drinking water for hikers and wildlife alike.
