The Dunluce Treestand provides interesting nature viewing opportunities, including migrating birds during spring and fall migration and nesting birds during the summer.
This woodlot is one of the largest remaining patches of natural forest within the developed areas of Edmonton. Composed mainly of deciduous trees, the woodlot has several openings in its canopy that allow a diversity of shrubs to proliferate. Among the many shrubs is a surprising abundance of mountain ash, whose bright red berries provide a splash of colour during the fall months and a source of nutrition for birds during the winter.
