In June of 2017 the Indiana Academy of Science held its Annual Bio Blitz at Red-tail properties, White River Woods and McVey Memorial Forest. Scientists from all backgrounds surveyed the two preserves to conduct a two-day, full-scale inventory of flora and fauna. Seventy scientists formed 19 teams and reported 1086 taxa. Special highlights of the report include findings of the federally endangered Indiana Bat and 3 species of freshwater mussels, the state endangered Cerulean Warbler and Osprey, as well as many state and county records of bees, butterflies, dragonflies, herpetofauna, mushrooms, spiders, and vascular plants.
