This site is a delightful, well managed continuum of Northeastern Wisconsin vegetational communties. The underlying bedrock is Precambrian granite overlain with Pleistocene glacial till. The riverbed to the north, the irregular topography, and the varying subtrates of sand and boulder fields created a habitat continuum that supported nine distinct plant communities. These communties include:

• Riparian Wetlands
• Uplands
• Meadow
• Northern Lowland Forests
• Floodplain
• Northern Mesic Forest

Come and visit the Reeve Reserve by travelling west of Big Falls along HWY C. Park on the grass along HWY C on the north side of the road and enter along the trail by the Reeve Reserve sign. For more specific directions from a particular location, please call the Land Trust at (920) 738-7265.
