Sedgwicks Rock Preserve

Prohibited activities: hunting, fishing, foraging, camping, fires, or disturbance of natural objects.

Sedgwick’s Rock Preserve, a gift to the college from emerita biology faculty Carrolle and Millard Markle, is a 13-acre mixed woodland forest. This preserve is extensively used for experimental field projects, particularly on understory vegetation. Every year ecological biology students use the stream to learn about aquatic ecology and field sampling—but the public is also encouraged to stop by for trail hiking!
