East Woods was purchased in 1949, with the help of several private donors who recognized the potential educational value of these woods and its close proximity to the UVM campus. Students are able to study plants and animals of a mature northern forest in this relatively undisturbed, 40-acre, mixed hardwood and conifer forest.
