Description
This should be two or three sentences that give a brief introduction to the place. If you are adding to an existing article, the description already provided may be sufficient, but you may choose to add to it.

Natural History
Here you should be able to provide a few paragraphs describing the overall habitat type found in the area. You may include information that is specific to the area, based on descriptions you have found elsewhere. You may also include some of your own observations (not original research, but statements that would be evident to anyone who has visited the place). You can include a species list, like the one below, if appropriate based on information you have gathered. You can also include relevant geographic/geologic features.

Species list
A partial list of species identified in this area, organized by category (trees, wildflowers, birds, mammals, insects, etc.)

You may also include links here to relevant lists or information provided by the DNR, park service, or other organization.

History
Many articles about places and locations include a "history" section, usually focused on human activities, dates of settlement, dates of construction of various buildings or institutions, etc. You do not need to include such a section, unless you have this information readily available and want to add it to your article.

examples can be provided (see below)

A recent critique of citizen science suggests that the scientific enterprise may be threatened by the rising popularity of a volunteer, non-expert science workforce. Possible advantages of citizen science may be outweighed by entrepreneurial interests.
