Members of the public got a rare chance to see one of Douglas County’s most pristine woodland areas on Saturday when the Kansas Biological Survey & Center for Ecological Research offered tours of the Baldwin Woods Forest Preserve.
The preserve, which is between Baldwin City and Lawrence along County Route 1055, is a National Natural Landmark and is home to a variety of sensitive ecosystems. It is typically closed to the public to protect its environment, but groups of visitors got to hike through it on Saturday, led by ecologists from the Kansas Biological Survey & Center for Ecological Research and the Kansas Forest Service.
