MSU students, faculty, staff and friends of the department: want to go for a walk?
We’d like to offer you the opportunity to get outside, explore nature, go for a walk, and inhale some nice, fresh air. So we bring you, Spartan Nature Walks. Our department tree experts are full of fun facts and will guide you throughout Baker Woodlot for some peace of mind.
The walks begin at the EAST entrance to the woodlot on Bogue Street, next to the Life Science building, and take place from 1-2 PM.
Sign up here if you would like updates regarding the nature walks.
