![Around 60 acres, <a href="/natural-areas/helyar-woods/">Helyar Woods</a> is named for a professor and longtime proponent of woodlands and hiking, Frank G. Helyar, who was also director of various programs at the College of Agriculture from 1917 to 1953. Helyar Woods is composed mostly of old-growth beech, birch, maple and oak trees. The woodland includes several springs, a stream, and an old quarry near Westons Mill Pond.<br/><br/><a href="/natural-areas/helyar-woods/">Helyar Woods</a> path leading into green woods](https://rutgersgardens.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/cache/2019/03/Helyar-Woods-Entrance-Rhodo_-Garden-June-16-2014-174-scaled/3915907800.jpg)
