Dr. R.B. Stewart provided use of his 22 acre property in 1951 for “giving training and practice to students and other”. FNR utilized this property heavily for instruction since it was one of the last remaining woods, along with McCormick Woods, next to campus. The property was acquired by Purdue around 1965 and management directed by FNR. Seven departments utilize the property for outdoor class labs currently. The hiking trail is used daily by local recreationist.
