An effort to catalogue the rare and endangered plant species in the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest is part of one of the largest restoration projects in the state. The land lies within the Atlantic coastal pine barrens ecoregion. Landscapes within the park include grasslands, heathlands, pine barrens and woodlands. Oak and pine are the dominant trees. Many rare species are located here.
