The Blackjack Conservation Easement covers 9.4 Acres. This property is a diverse mixture of tree species of various age and size including older growth forest, dominated by mature oaks and tulip poplars, many with diameters over 24 inches at chest height. The property also includes a wonderful variety of wildflowers, including the state threatened prairie trillium and a significant population of club moss. The presence of numerous vernal pools, forested wetlands, and an unnamed stream provide an array of habitats for mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic invertebrates. It is an important stopover and breeding site for many species of birds, including the Long-Eared Owl, Cerulean Warbler, Louisiana Waterthrush, and Hooded Warbler, rare birds known to be taking advantage of the adjacent Robinson Preserve just to the east of the property.
