Cleveland Museum of Natural History--Perkins Woods Garden Cuyahoga County 2 acres Coordinates: 41.512, -81.613 – paste into a Google search or the mapping tool in eBird http://www.cmnh.org/site/Conservation/NaturalAreas/Map/PerkinsWoodsGarden.aspx 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.
