Guilford College and Piedmont Land Conservancy have partnered to preserve a 120-acre forest in Greensboro known as Guilford Woods. The urban woodlands are home to a diverse range of plants and animals, including deer, foxes, beavers and hawks. Native Americans and Revolutionary War soldiers knew these woods. Freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad also passed through.
