The Happy Tails Easement protects 7.25 acres of open floodplain forest whose dominant vegetation is walnut and sycamore. There is an upland area with red oak, beech, and maple in the over story and ironwood dominating the under-story. The upland plant community is in a relatively natural and undisturbed condition and supports the full range of wildlife species found in this habitat type. The property includes 550 feet of frontage on the Galien River. Protecting the natural vegetation of this property will reduce overland flow, reduce soil erosion, increase infiltration, and improve water quality.
