West Bloomfield Woods Nature Preserve

Highlight • Forest

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.
