Once covered by glaciers and glacial meltwaters, today Saint-Gaudens NHP is home to upland forests, wetlands, open fields, brooks, and two ponds. The park offers both a special place to recreate and an important natural resource to study, manage, and protect. In all there are over 200 species of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and fish found at the park. Additionally, there are over 400 vascular plant species and seventeen known invasive plants. Each invasive plant is monitored for spread and controlled based on its invasiveness, ease of removal, and threat or damage caused by the species. Forest Health Update, 2006-2022
