The trail is a 2 mile loop with lots of shade. Additional information about the series may be found HERE

A census of this forest reveals over 40 randomly scattered species of trees. Nature does not plant trees in pure stands like humans do because they are especially vulnerable to disease, as demonstrated by the spread of dutch elm disease through elm stands on city streets.
