Site is located along Salt Creek, south of Lincoln. The creek is downcut and no longer floods.
Forest is overgrown and few oaks are reproducing.
Lack of appropriate management has led to very little bur oak reproduction. Site was burned in early 1980's, but has been left idle since that time. Woody plants are invading. An oxbow wetland is located within this old field. Soils on site are Kennebec silt loam and Zook silt loam.
