Stratmoor Valley and Maxwell Properties is a roughly thirty-six (36) acre area consisting of Siberian elms, cottonwoods, choke cherry, and native grasses. Black locusts, salt cedar, green ash, and Russian olive are also present. Areas such as this location are susceptible to high intensity wildfires and require periodic forestry maintenance to mitigate wildfire risk.
