Hampton has a variety of natural resources including three state champion trees:
Austrian Pine, Pinus Nigra
Pecan, Carya illinoinensis
Weeping Japanese Scholar Tree, Sophora japonica 'Pendula'
Bluebirds
In 2001 volunteers placed Bluebird boxes in the park. We're delighted to see their work pay off handsome dividends. In 2004, thirty-seven Eastern Bluebirds fledged successfully, as well as nine tree swallows and six Chickadees. The park now hosts sixteen Bluebird boxes in which the birds continue to fledge.
