Bat House Woods is the official name for the 8.5 acre wooded area adjacent to Physical Plant greenhouses and across Museum Road from the northwest corner of Lake Alice. This area was identified in previous master plans as a Preservation Area (3), due to its relatively undisturbed natural character and its proximity to Lake Alice. However, it appears that since that time additional encroachment has occurred and portions of the understory have been converted to botanical maintenance facilities. Additionally, much of the area has been taken over by invasive non-native plants that cover most of the ground and our winding up many of the pines and oaks.
