Westside Nature Preserve

The Westside Nature Preserve (WNP) is a 33 acre parcel of eastern deciduous woodland/wetland found on the Westside Campus of Western Connecticut State University.

The primary purpose of the WNP is to set aside a portion of the locally diverse fauna and flora for future generations. Subsidiary purposes are to provide an outdoor laboratory for studies of the environment and to be an educational resource for the University community and the larger community in which the University resides.
