Baldwin Woods

Baldwin Woods, formally called the Baldwin Woods Forest Preserve, is a 456-acre (185 ha) nature reserve in Douglas County in the U.S. state of Kansas. The forest preserve is located near the municipality of Vinland within the Lawrence, Kansas metropolitan area. Formerly a 3,700-acre (1,500 ha) old-growth forest grove of white oak and hickory, with interspersed tallgrass prairie savanna, the old-growth portion of the forest preserve has been reduced to its present size. The park is managed by the KU Field Station, a division of the University of Kansas (KU). The forest preserve was named a National Natural Landmark in 1980.
