Greenacres has several types of forests on the property including Beech-Maple and Oak-Hickory.  We are through time. The frequency of invasive species such as Amur honeysuckle, Oriental bittersweet and Lesser Celandine will be documented.

There are some very large beech trees growing, one approximately 146 years of age.  This is an estimate using the diameter of the tree multiplied by a growth factor (see this site to learn more). interested in knowing the types and sizes of trees as well as what is growing in the understory.   Our plan is to monitor the forests over the next decade (or more) and look at changes
