HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

Beech-maple forests were the most common Northeast Ohio forest community at the time of European settlement. These upland forests are characterized by a dominance of sugar maple and American beech trees, while tuliptrees, New York fern and Christmas fern are also present.

Beech-maple forests often feature a dense canopy of deciduous trees, a sparse to often absent shrub layer and a well-developed ground layer of herbaceous plants.

Wild beech-maple forests in Northeast Ohio and the surrounding region commonly house a diverse array of animal species. Coyotes and raccoons join other populations that are commonly found including the long-tailed weasel, eastern chipmunk, white-footed mouse and short-tailed shrew. Red-backed salamander, gray treefrog and black rat snake may also be found.

Birds found in local beech-maple communities include barred owl, pileated woodpecker, wood thrush, scarlet tanager, rose-breasted grosbeak, red-eyed vireo, ovenbird, hooded warbler, American redstart and cerulean warbler.
