Natural features include red maple swamps, wooded drumlins, ponds, streams, wet meadows, agricultural fields, and plantation forests, as well as tributaries to both the Sudbury and Assabet Rivers. The size of this natural oasis is particularly remarkable as it is bounded by major transportation corridors including I-495 to the east, Route 9 to the south, Route 135 to the west, and ConRail track and Route 20 to the north, along with associated industrial and residential development.
