Matson’s Woods

Located in the Louise W. Moore Park, this forest is small (only 7 acres) but mightily impressive with ancient white oaks, red oaks, and conifers. Unfortunately, there are many invasives here too. The park was the former Slate Post Farm, which was donated to the County by Louise W. Moore to be developed as passive parkland in 1973. The wider Louise Moore Park was recently accredited as an arboretum with ArbNet in February of 2024.
