From there we will ascend to a pristine area replete with active Beaver Dams and natural ponds; explore the unique habitats of the escarpment including Hemlock and White Pine groves within the mixed hardwood forest; and search for signs of other interesting native organisms such as Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, and Reindeer Moss.
