 | | The Backwoods are bounded by Deepdene Road to the south, St. Mary’s Seminary to the west, the recently constructed RPCS tennis courts to the north, and the RPCS academic building to the east. |
 | | This unique remnant of an old growth forest contains a high oak canopy, a mixed middlestory, both invasive and native plants, considerable wildlife, a wetland, a spring-fed stream, a springhouse, a dam and structures that channel the stream. |
 | | The five plant communities - the Pond, the Deepdene Valley, the Deepdene Slope, the Eastern Slope and the Western Slope - also require restoration and maintenance of the trails, and several areas will be reforested. |
