Ackermann Nature Preserve

The mixed mesophytic forest is dominated by mature hardwoods that include sugar maple, red oak and American beech.  In the stream valley, there are very large sycamores, maples. A switchback trail allows visitors to access the lower forest areas that can be damp and wet in times of heavy rainfall. Most of the hardwood trees are over 24 inches in diameter with many that range from 30 to 48 inches in diameter.
