STATION 2: Glacial End Moraine and Oak/Hickory Forest

Glacial end moraine consists mainly of sand and gravel deposited on or very near melting ice. The many hills and depressions (kames and kettles) are characteristic of deposits on ice that later melted. The Oak/Hickory Forest in this area is typical of the New England Central Forest Region and is characterized by a wide variety of trees, predominantly hardwoods. The larger trees are about 80 to 100 feet tall and will not grow much taller.
