Flora & Fauna:

One of the interesting aspects of this property is the fact that it is in the Carolinian forest zone but the canopy trees are representative of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence forest. Tamarack, a boreal forest species, is also present. But this is what makes the Carolinian zone so biologically diverse! Some plants we normally find farther north have colonized sites like Five Points Forest centuries ago and have never relinquished them to the trees from farther south.
