- Though they are documented to sprout following cutting, individual pin cherry thickets are often killed if exposed to fire.
- The pin cherry is rather short lived, having a lifespan of only 20 to 40 years following a rapid maturation.
- Combined with the rapid initial growth of seedlings, these characteristics enable groupings of Pin cherry thickets to dominate many burned-over areas, particularly in the northern hardwood forest.
- Although the area is forest covered, extensive forest fire damage in the southern half has resulted in much of it now being covered with brush, pin cherry, aspen and bracken fern.
- It is lined on both sides with trees and bushes of various species including evergreens, pin cherries, choke cherries, saskatoon berry trees, mountain ashes ( Rowan ), red elderberries, currants, gooseberries, raspberries and wild roses.
