Although not a very large area, the quarry contains wooded, rocky, grassy, and marsh-like areas. This allows for a variety of vegetation to be grow in the area. The forest area was dominated mostly by deciduous trees, but there were also some coniferous ones to be observed. The most common trees I noted were Yellow Birch, Red Maple, Eastern White Pine, and some Red Oaks and Ash. If you walk up to the rock ledge you can sit under a large Norway Maple while looking down at the water.
Pictured above are the cattails that are in dense patches around the swamp area. They grow fairly tall and make it somewhat difficult to see into the swamp. I also noticed that there are lots of saplings, especially Red Maple saplings. Lastly, the characteristic that stood out to me the most on my first visit here was the amount wildflowers that were around. The most common one I saw were Aster’s, which is the flower in the picture I snapped below.
