Sunday Afternoon Nature Walk through Guilford College Woods

November 12, 2023  2:00 PM

Please join us as we explore Guilford College Woods at 2:00 PM on Sunday, November 12th. Guilford College Woods consists of 240 acres of hardwoods, mixed hardwoods, and pine forests. During the Revolutionary War, it was the site of encampments of both British and American troops. Native Americans of the Saura and Keyawee tribes lived in the Woods, and it was a stop on the Underground Railroad for enslaved Africans seeking freedom before and during the Civil War. If you have never explored Guilford College Woods, the trail we will be walking on is a dirt path which will likely be covered with leaves this time of year. The leaves can be a little slippery if it has rained recently.

Wear sturdy shoes as the surface of the trail is uneven. Bring binoculars if you have them. We will meet at the back entrance to the Woods on Bennington Drive. 

Use 4910 Bennington Drive for driving directions.
