Located in an area of intense development in eastern Hendricks County, Burnett Woods was purchased by CILTI as a bargain sale thanks to a gift from Ruth Burnett.  

This 68-acre woods is dominated by tall black walnut, oak, hickory, maple, and tulip poplar trees. The forest floor and understory contain a rich mixture of native wildflowers and shrubs. 

Burnett Woods has been dedicated as an Indiana State Nature Preserve.  Burnett Woods has a marked nature trail available for passive recreation.  Parking is just west of the property, at the Light and Life Methodist Church.  Click here for an aerial map of the property.
