Wednesday Garden Talk Series: Stadium Woods with Rebekah Paulson
(Special Event)
Stadium Woods is an exceptionally rare urban old-growth forest located at the interface of VA Tech and the town of Blacksburg. The predominately White Oak 12 acre old-growth forest contains more than 500 inventoried trees greater than 12" dbh including more than 50 trees believed to be between 250 - 450 years old. At least 60 native plant species have been identified and the woods support more than 80 species of birds. In 2011 the all-volunteer campus and community group - Friends of the Stadium Woods (FOSW) - formed to prevent development of the intact old-growth ecosystem. FOSW continues to advocate for the creation of a legally binding preservation agreement for this one of a kind historic and natural treasure that will ensure this unique remnant forever remains a research and teaching laboratory.
