Willow Creek, a tributary of Cedar Creek, flows through the preserve. Bur oak, swamp white oak, shagbark hickory, bitternut hickory, sugar maple, black walnut, basswood, black cherry, and flowering dogwood are among the tree species present. The spring wildflowers include rue anemone, Dutchman’s breeches, miterwort, appendaged waterleaf, and goldenseal. A portion of the preserve contains a buttonbush wetland and an upland field.
