Here is a description of Perkins Woods from the Cleveland Museum of Natural
History web site:
The two-acre Perkins Woods Garden on the eastern side of the Natural History
Museum contains canopy remnants of three forest types, Oak-Chestnut Forest,
Hemlock Northern Hardwood Forest and Mixed Mesophytic Forest. The forest and
the Museum sit along the northern edge of a unique geological feature, the
Lake Warren Beach Ridge. The beach ridge formed along glacial Lake Warren, a
fore-runner to modern Lake Erie. The elevation of Lake Warren is
approximately 100 feet higher than Lake Erie. Large tulip trees, a
distinctive member of the Mixed Mesophytic Forest Community are the dominant
members of the forest canopy; however, there are several black oaks along
the southeastern side of the forest. The three forest types represented
within the Woods Garden Forest are the same as those present at the North
Kingsville Sand Barrens and Cathedral Woods in Ashtabula County, 65 miles
east of the Museum.
