You are most welcome to enjoy and explore the woods and gardens on your own; literature about the woods is available in the post box along the path near the George Washington statue and in the Bishop's Garden, the post box is centrally located. If you wish to read about a winter walk in our Herald Newsletter on Page 4, and view the listing of trees along the way, click here>> and we hope you will visit the Woods.
