Bill's Woods Restoration

Bill's Woods consists of a broad strip of wooded land between University Bay Drive and Eagle Heights Community Gardens. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this part of the Preserve was both cropped and grazed as part of a working farm. Later, it was also used for agricultural research and as a storage area for campus landscaping operations. The present forest has come into being as a result of half a century of regrowth.

A dedicated group of volunteers from the Friends of the Lakeshore Nature Preserve has been working steadily since the late 1990s on a series of restoration projects here to return this area to a more diverse native plant community.
