Park Park

Description

Although Park Park shows marked evidence of human disturbance, it retains important natural features and a significant component of the native vegetation typical for such a site. The ongoing restoration of this natural area provides a great learning opportunity. The habitats of Park Park include meadow, shrub thicket, shady forest on a north-facing slope, and floodplain forest next to Fall Creek.
