The area includes two ponds, two pine plantations, a large deciduous woods, an oak savanna area, and open fields with some natural prairie vegetation.
Cedar Creek flows along the western boundary.
Two nature trails have been developed and plans are underway for teaching stations along the trails. Each school has formed Green Teams of students and teachers to plan for future site projects. They hope to plant prairie grasses and wildflowers on their site as well as improve accessibility with trail development and building docks at the ponds. Teachers have used their nature area to teach about insects and animal homes, and to collect and examine seeds, soil and pond specimens. They have begun to integrate art, literature and math into nature area activities and have even had winter picnics at their site.
