This woodland sanctuary is a great place to contemplate the beauty of nature, enjoy a quiet walk, or soak up some sun while studying. The 125 acres of public urban garden and forested greenspace serve to preserve native plant species, provide research opportunities and promote knowledge of the botanical and natural world for people of all ages through various activities and events.
