It is mainly a farming Community, but due to all the trees, pursing such industry is difficult.
The name comes from all of the hills to the south and east and the abundance of birch trees which once covered the area, the hamlet was named Birch Hills. While native birch trees are not as prevalent in the area today as they once were, they have caught the spirit of the name by planting birch trees on boulevards and private property.
The area is part of the aspen parkland biome.
