Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve

	Map		Reviews

Wesselman Woods provides crucial habitat for a wide variety of animal species, including mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds. This urban forest is abundant with raccoon and squirrel, and is often frequented by white tail deer.

There are occasional sightings of fox and coyote. Efforts to protect the declining populations of rare salamanders, such as the Marbled Salamander, continue. Visitors marvel at the many woodpeckers, warblers and other songbirds that reside in or migrate through the forest. Owls and other raptors also inhabit the woods. Historically, the Wabash-Erie Canal and 2 early railroads passed near the periphery of the preserve, but all three are now abandoned. The interior of the woods has been protected for many years. There are over six miles of walking trails within the Preserve. Other habitats include a reconstructed prairie, and a manmade and seasonal pond.
