The quarry is undergoing changes as temperatures being to drop and fall continues to roll in. Many of the deciduous trees have lost their leaves, some have lingering yellow leaves, and few Northern-white cedars remain with leaves still in tact. Orange, brown, and yellow leaves blanket the ground. A number of blue jays were seen singing and flying in and out of the open rock face on the east edge of the quarry. Spider webs remain, but flying insects such as mosquitos were not present in the chilly wind. One squirrel and squirrel leaf nest was found, and chipmunks scurry across pathways.
