Maple Haven Easement protects 4.5 acres of southern mesic forest community dominated by maple, tulip, and ash along with black cherry and American beech. The under-story includes spicebush and pawpaw. A wide variety of spring ephemerals is also present. The property includes important natural and riparian lands within the watershed of Dowling Creek, a tributary to the Galien River. Protection of this property in its natural and open space condition helps to ensure the quality and quantity of water resources for the area. Maple Haven includes approximately 500 feet of an ephemeral stream and contains significant natural habitat in which fish, wildlife, plants, or the ecosystems that support them, thrive in a natural state.
