The Aullwood woodlands feature a diverse array of tree and plant species. This land was a grazing area for cattle when John Aull purchased the land in the early 20th century. Over the years, he and Marie returned the woodland to it's natural beauty by planting thousands of Virginia bluebells, winter aconite, daffodils, trillium, and other woodland species. 

As early conservationists, the Aull's efforts were the beginning of what we now refer to as habitat management. This practice of manually restoring the landscape benefits both humans and wildlife, providing park goers recreational activities and respite while making suitable space for wildlife to return to. 

Over the last 100 years, Aullwood has become an important birding area, with many migratory birds stopping for their own respite among the woodland's trees and flowers, When visiting, don't forget to look up, and listen for the songs of both the winged-residents and those just passing through.
