Located along the West Branch of the Rocky River, much of the preserve is restored prairie which acts as a natural buffer for a headwater stream that was restored in 2009. Once ditched and straightened along a farm field, the stream was reconstructed to follow its natural meandering path, improving water quality and wildlife habitat while reestablishing wetlands and riparian zones. The upland portions of the property contain forests with mature trees and steep ravines, offering scenic views and diverse habitats. A significant portion of Liverpool Meadows is protected by an environmental covenant, ensuring long-term preservation of its natural character.
