Pond at Whites Mill Preserve
This approximately 100-acre tract was acquired in 1998 by Salford Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The township contracted with the Botany Department of Morris Arboretum to prepare an inventory and management guidelines for the preserve which includes a 150-year old mill pond, a forested diabase slope, floodplain meadow, and successional areas. Mead’s sedge (Carex meadii), a state endangered species is present. The site also contains a large naturalized population of callery pear (Pyrus calleryana).
Magnolia virginiana
Falls Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania contracted with the Botany Department of the Morris Arboretum to prepare an inventory and management recommendations for an extensive coastal plain wetland complex acquired by the township under the Bucks County Open Space Program. We documented the presence of five rare coastal plain plants, willow oak (Quercus phellos), netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata), sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), round-leaved eupatorium (Eupatorium rotundifolium), and short-hair sedge (Carex crinita var. brevicrinis); rare coastal plain forest types; and discussed measures to reduce the spread on invasive species.
