West Bloomfield Woods is a beautiful pocket of woodland featuring mature oak and hickory trees with a stunning understory of white trillium and yellow trout lilies.

The woodland is recognised as an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary. It is visited by over 100 bird species as well as white-tail deer, red fox, coyote, weasel, mink and salamanders. A compact gravel path will lead you straight through the preserve along West Bloomfield Trail, or you can choose to take one of the unpaved nature trails deeper inside the forestry to discover rivers, ponds and lookouts.

The West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve is located south of Pontiac Trail in the middle of the Township, along the West Bloomfield Trail. The Preserve was the first in Michigan to receive recognition as an Urban Wildlife Sanctuary from the National Institute for Urban Wildlife.

The 162 acre preserve is frequented by over 100 bird species as well as white-tail deer, red fox, coyote, weasel, mink and salamanders. Great carpets of white trillium and yellow trout lilies thrive under mature oak and hickory trees. Large black walnuts and wild dogwoods can also be found within the preserve.
