The North Woods play an important role in campus life, teaching, research, and community engagement at the University of Rhode Island. Many departments at URI utilize the North Woods for experiential learning. The landscape of the North Woods has been shaped by humans, just as humans are shaped by the landscapes in which we inhabit. Information about Ecology and Human History are on individual pages to provide more details, but humans are not separate from the natural world. To learn about the natural and cultural history of the North Woods, explore the pages below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
