White ash, basswood, wild black cherry, and red oak are also noted.[2] HistoryMany early Euro-American settlers of the U.S. state of Michigan set aside woodlots for personal use. The Bennett family did this when they settled this tract in 1852. The family maintained {{convert|13.5|acre|ha}}, the future Toumey Woods, in a nondisturbed condition, and sold the woodlot to MSU in 1939. From 1852 until the present, the woodlot has had only two owners.[2] The woods are named after James W. Toumey, an MSU graduate who later served as dean of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and helped found the Ecological Society of America.
