Intro to Trin Woods

What is Trin Woods?

Trin Woods is how UVM students refer to the greenspace behind the Trinity Campus housing. It is a small wooded area with a well kept path cutting through.

How do you get to Trin Woods?

The woods can be reached by following a paved path from the back door of the McAuley Building and then cutting across the grass to reach a small opening in the edge of the woods. This is the beginning of the path that leads through the woods.

What kinds of trees and woody plants live here?

Close to the path are lots of Red Oak, White Oak and Red Maple. A little further up the path and off to the right side of it down the hill are mature White Pines and even further ahead are a few Eastern Hemlocks. There is some shrubbery that is difficult for me to identify, and some ferns scattered down the hillside. There are also several felled Paper Birch.
