The Smith Rock Park was designed by landscape architect Nancy Denig ‘68 in collaboration with Geoscience Professor John Brady. It serves the multiple purposes of enriching the campus landscape, providing a sunlit sanctuary and of exhibiting a collection of rocks for study by classes. Most of the rocks were collected in New England and are ones that may be seen on Smith geosciences field trips. The diversity of rocks in the park reflects the great variety and beauty of material that has been produced by our dynamic earth.
