Environmental Interpretive Series: Forest Succession
Forest Succession
Forest Succession is a change in the landscape over time when there has been a disturbance in the vegetation and tree cover. This might be a natural event such as a fire, hurricane or insect damage but it can also be manmade after trees are harvested for lumber or when farmland is cleared then abandoned.
Equestrian Trials
Hemlock Overlook offers trails for horses and their riders near the entrance to the park. The trails vary in length, and several brush along the Occoquan Reservoir, providing excellent views of the water.
