Ecological Description (Applied Ecological Services, Inc. 1997)
This site is situated on gently rolling uplands with silt loam soils that are predominantly moderately to well-drained. Approximately 10 % of the property is mapped as poorly to somewhat poorly-drained soils. Surface waters drain to the east through treed and grassy drainage swales in two locations at the east end of the property. The property is currently occupied by a horse stable operation. Much of the land is fenced and maintained as pasture and hay ground with alfalfa and clovers. Some old oaks occur in the treed swale. A small cattail/reed canary grass wetland, associated with an off-site created pond, occurs on the NE corner of the property.
