The Johnson’s Creek Trail Easement and Flynn Conservation Easement combined cover 71 acres. Both properties contain significant lengths of the Galien River, are heavily forested, and provide prime habitat for the state-threatened Prairie Trillium, numerous bird species, and other wildlife. The properties are a mixture of upland forest, forested ravines, and floodplain forest. The forests are beech/sugar maple mature forests, but are particularly diverse in both tree and ground cover species and there is evidence of a vernal pool. Wooded areas are diverse in species, age class, and structure and attract a wide variety of wildlife species. Orioles, wood thrush, Indigo Bunting, wood ducks, wild turkeys, and various species of woodpeckers, warblers, herons, ducks, hawks, and owls are a few of the birds that have been sighted on the properties. Many species of mammals, reptiles, and amphibians also benefit from the diverse habitat and the rural nature of the neighboring properties.
