The woodlot there has a great history—but slowly over the past decades nature has taken its route forming a condition not unlike Waterman’s Woods along Waterman Drive a mile away.
When the crowns of a tree lot don’t annually shade the ground under, the prolific growth of understory results–very varied with undesirable vegetation taking over.
You have a daunting task to deal with water control, undesirable undergrowth removal, and overall maintenance—new plantings as necessary. Best wishes on any improvements —It will be work with a capital W.

May their efforts prosper.

For an historical perspective, it may be of interest to go to the ÌÇÐÄVlog Library and dust off a copy of a thesis I wrote 60 years ago for a Master’s degree at Cornell University on the vascular plants and vertebrates of Park Woods.
