Wonder what animals live in the topmost layer of the forest among the treetops in Prince William Forest Park? Hike the Piedmont Forest Trail to learn more about what creatures travel through and live in the canopy of the forest. This shaded, gently sloping stop in the Piedmont forest encourages you to look up to learn about the squirrels, woodpeckers, and spiders that make the treetops and upper branches of the forest their home.
