Most of Cedarville is forested with over 50 species of trees, including white and loblolly pine plantations. Areas of wet, wooded bottomland containing holly, magnolia, lowbush blueberry and mountain laurel also characterize large expanses of the forest. Wildlife, such as white-tailed deer, American beaver and wild turkey are abundant.
Forestry management practices, which have created successional forest habitats, also enhance birding opportunities. Birds of prey, such as the commonly seen red-tailed hawk and the great horned owl, may both be seen throughout the day. Seasonally, the yellow-throated vireo, pine warbler and eastern bluebird can be viewed in the forest during their migration routes.
