Phone: 767-7375
Description of Organization:
Glen Helen is 1,000 acres of quiet peacefulness located across from
Antioch College at Corry Street. It is a preserve and
environmental education facility and is managed by the Glen Helen
Ecology Institute, a special program of Antioch College. The woods,
open fields, streams, and wetlands that comprise the nature preserve
were given to Antioch between 1929 and 1938 by alumnus Hugh Taylor
Birch as a living memorial to his daughter, Helen Birch Bartlett. The
land was set aside according to Birch’s wishes "as a reserve for birds,
fish, and game, wildflowers, trees, shrubs, and other forms of life...
and for the direct benefit of Antioch College."
