Report For Habitat Site |
| Kilkenny Forest 2 |
| Location | Site Description |
| North of Brentwood, South of Perimeter Hwy., | This site is classified as riverbottom forest habitat with |
| West of St. Mary's Rd. | some oak forest habitat on the terrace. The site has a |
| Site Name | Site # | high density of trees and oak trees larger than those in |
| | any other riverbottom forest site. There was some |
| Kilkenny Forest 2 | 657 | disturbance noted at the time of inventory but only a few |
| | weed species. Disturbance included the construction of |
| | fire pits, the cutting down of trees for firewood, and the |
| | maintenance of winding paths throughout the core of the |
| | site. But the site is relatively large, allowing it to maintain |
| | some species diversity despite the degree of unnatural |
| | disturbances. However, overall species richness in the |
| | site is low. |
