The property is part of the Mount Agamenticus Focus Area of Statewide Ecological Significance, is part of a rare Central Hardwoods Oak Forest Ecosystem, is within a large Undeveloped Habitat Block, contains documented populations of two rare plants, provides documented habitat for rare turtles, and abuts existing conservation land on the northeast, east, and south sides.
