From Description for Auto Tour Stop #12. As you now complete our auto tour route, you will be driving through a natural tunnel of maple, basswood and ironwood trees which grow well in shaded conditions. You'll nitice the ground is practically devoid of shrubs and grasses, offering little food or cover for animals. However, as these trees mature, natural cavities will develop, providing nesting areas for species such as wood ducks and woodpeckers.
