Mostly encompassed by wide open athletic fields and golf courses, this stand serves as a natural border marking the south edge of the University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-uvmgreen-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background\">        The best way to get to this spot is to find the grass path that connects the southern section of the Redstone Campus with the Redstone Lofts and Virtue Field.  Once you reach the large bend, about halfway through, an entrance into the wooded area should be visible. Proceed inside, hop over the fallen log, and bear left with the path. Very shortly, you will arrive at a shelter made from a fallen tree. This section of fallen logs, and its surrounding area, is the location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-uvmgreen-color has-text-color\">        Despite its location, the area contains a good amount of diversity in plant life. The most common tree species in the area are Eastern White Pine, a focal species, Sugar Maple, northern Red Pine, Paper Birch, and American Beech. The understory is much more sparse, mostly consisting of Common Buckthorn, Honeysuckle, and Goldenrods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3202-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3189-1568x2091.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3183-1568x1176.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"924\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-1024x370.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-768x277.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-1536x554.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-2048x739.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3197-1568x566.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1125\" height=\"2436\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196.png 1125w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196-139x300.png 139w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196-473x1024.png 473w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196-768x1663.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196-709x1536.png 709w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/tgleba\/files\/2023\/10\/IMG_3196-946x2048.png 946w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just beyond the Wing-Davis-Wilks complex, on the fringe of the Redstone parking lots, stands an isolated, mature forest.
