Open Space Notable Parcels & Features

The most notable area of open space is the creek corridor that runs through the property that is predominantly forested wetlands with a creek system. The creek corridor also has some mixed upland hardwood communities that abut the creek corridor. The only other habitats onsite consist of small isolated wetlands that have been enhanced for wetland mitigation purposes. All invasive/exotic vegetation species has been removed from the isolated wetlands (mitigation areas) and all wetland buffers. The mitigation areas and all wetland buffers have been replanted with native species to establish more desirable vegetative communities and are currently being maintained and monitored to comply with state, federal and local government permits.
