 In the immediate years following, several local boy scouts cleaned up the park and built sections of boardwalk and benches for park patrons as part of their Eagle Scout projects.One ecosystem, located in Cattus Island Park, is a maritime upland forest, which consists mostly of oak trees and pine trees, such as the pitch pine and the shortleaf pine.Even though Cattus Island Park is a maritime forest, within it, one can find many of the same shrubs and animal species that are native to the Pine Barrens.
