}}Toumey Woods, also called the Toumey Woodlot, is a {{convert|24|acre|ha|adj=on}} tract of Beech-maple forest located on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. {{convert|13.5|acre|ha}} of this wooded parcel of property are classified as old-growth woodland, and this subplot was listed as a United States National Natural Landmark in 1976.[2]

Ecology

Michigan State University (MSU), the owner, reports that the primary old-growth tree species represented within Toumey Woods are American beech and sugar maple. White ash, basswood, wild black cherry, and red oak are also noted.[2]

History

Many 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.
