The orange-dotted Forest Ecology Trail leads walkers and hikers through a typical Central New England woodlot containing a variety of ecosystems from stands of hemlock and pine to wetlands and rocky outcrops.

The forest stands at MWCC range from 60 to 100 years in age. The most common tree species present are: white pine, eastern hemlock, red maple, northern red oak, American beech, and red pine. Also, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, beaver, porcupines, red fox, red and gray squirrels and chipmunks have all been observed on the property or left their marks.
