Facilities

The Felton Conservation Land is a diverse property that consists of open fields and quiet woodlands. In the southern part of the property, there is a small Red Maple Swamp. The fields in this parcel provide grassland habitat for many species including nesting birds, small mammals such as mice and larger mammals such as white tailed deer. Some grassland birds that may inhabit the fields include Eastern Meadowlarks, Bobolinks and Savannah Sparrows. The open area also serves as an important hunting site for birds of prey including owls and hawks as they search the site for small mammals. The mice and voles create elaborate tunnel systems within the protection of the grasses. The White-tailed deer graze on the herbaceous vegetation that grows on the border of the field and forest; they also use the grass as bedding sites.
