History

This peaceful preserve, marked by wooden bridges crossing a meandering fork of Strawberry Creek, was dedicated in 1969 in honor of Edward Wickson, dean of the College of Agriculture from 1906-1912. It includes some of the oldest trees on campus, including a stand of coast redwoods dating from the 1870s, and a magnificent Chinese gingko planted in 1881.
