Approximately 90 percent of the property is in woodland that is perhaps best classified as a southern Appalachian Cove Forest, which is one of the most diverse forest types in North America. Many large trees tower over the forest on the upper property, including oaks, hickories, and tulip poplars. Several thickets of laurel and hemlock shade the lower hillside. An assessment of timber resources has not been performed.
