Ringwood Preserve
|
Description
| The Ringwood
Preserve is noted for its complex, rolling glacial
topography, with steep slopes, dry ridge tops, deep
kettle holes, vernal ponds, and wetlands. Kame-moraine
landscape is rarely found at so high an elevation. The
upland vegetation is largely maple-beech forest, with
smaller areas of oak-hickory forest. A large part of the
forest has not been logged for 130 years. Because many
of the trees are more than 150 years old, it is
considered old-growth.
