Physical Description:
Metropolitan Urban Wild is a wooded tract, nestled behind the comfortable back yards of a suburban residential community. The property is a fragment of woods that dominated the local hills as recently as 60 years ago. The land is steep, and there is a wide variety of trees including Black Cherry, Basswood, Red Oak, and Pignut Hickory. The presence of domesticated vegetation such as English Ivy, Perewinkle, and Lily of the Valley suggests the close proximity of the private yards. Invasive, exotic plant species such as Japanese Knotweed, Garlic Mustard, and Glossy Buckthorn have taken hold of this wild.
