Toumey Woods, also called the Toumey Woodlot, is a tract of beech-maple forest on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. of the property are classified as old-growth woodland, and were listed as a United States National Natural Landmark in 1976.
Michigan State University (MSU), the woods' owner, reports that the primary old-growth trees are American beech and sugar maple. White ash, basswood, wild black cherry, and red oak are also present.
Like many early Euro-American settlers of Michigan, the Bennett family set aside woodlots for personal use when they settled the tract in 1852. They maintained , the future Toumey Woods, in their natural condition, and sold the woodlot to MSU in 1939; thus the woodlot has had only two owners.
The woods are named after James Toumey, an MSU graduate who was later dean of the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and helped found the Ecological Society of America.
