Additional features include:
Britton Woods Nature Area: This 18 acre woodlot is an interesting mixture of upland and floodplain tree species. Oaks, hickories, and cherry reflect the upland nature of this wooded knoll, while maple, ash, ironwood, and hornbeam reflect the floodplain soils deposited by a glacial water course. Together with trillium and other wild flowers, Britton Woods is a reflection of the Ann Arbor landscape in presettled times.
County Farm Nature Area: County Farm was primarily used as agricultural land, it has since re-naturalized with lush fields, dense hedgerows, and brushy cover. In this renewed habitat, known as "Old Field Succession", rabbits, pheasant, woodchucks, and skunks, as well as numerous bird species, are to be found. There is even a rare sighting of fox and deer some years. As with all WCPARC Parks, the plants, animals, fruits, and flowers of County Farm Park are protected against picking and collecting.
