Fitzsimmons Woods was preserved during development of the Hidden Oaks subdivision. It’s a remnant beech-maple woodland with a strong presence of oaks, 13 ephemeral wetlands, and 145 native Wisconsin plant species. The remnant American beech trees exist here in the westernmost extent of their natural range.
