Nature Facts

Heartland Forest is home to Both Barn swallows and tree swallows! If you see a bird with blue back and a white throat that’s a tree swallow! If the bird has a blue back with a red throat that a barn swallow!

The Muskrat is a semi aquatic rodent that lives in wetlands! We have some living at Heartland Forest, they can be seen at the fishpond, and can swim underwater for roughly 15 minutes on average!

The white-tailed deer has 4 stomachs! These deer also mark their territory by rubbing bark off trees.

Many trees along our trails are labeled with their names! Both scientific and common!
