What to See

The Ecosystem Preserve at Calvin College consists of 90 acres of temperate deciduous forest, wetlands, and old fields on the campus of Calvin College, on the east side of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Our award-winning Helen and Vincent Bunker Interpretive Center has a number of environmentally friendly features. You'll want to come to see this for yourself. But most importantly, we hope that your visit will draw you to the outdoors, where strolling along our extensive trail system you may come to see your world and yourself in a whole new light.

The restrooms are located at the Bunker Interpretive Center.
