The Root and Kirkland GlensAt the southern side of Hamilton's campus lie acres of forested land, including the Root Glen, a seven and one-half acre wooded garden and ravine founded in 1850, and the nearby Kirkland Glen. Visitors wandering the paths of the glens can enjoy the quiet beauty of these areas and catch a glimpse of some of the 75 species of birds that have been spotted here. The Root Glen, in particular, is home to 65 species of trees, including "the national champion" Norway Spruce, many kinds of shrubs, and scores of varieties of flowers, including the Saunders peonies, which were hybridized by Hamilton Professor A. P. Saunders and are considered to be among the world's finest peonies. More about the Root Glen ... Both Glens and the Hamilton campus in general are part of the Hamilton College Arboretum, which is dedicated to the preservation of the campus landscape as a place where plants are cultivated and maintained for scientific and educational purposes. |
