New DW Field Guide! A grant from FoDW to the Dicken classrooms has resulted in a new
Dicken Woods Field Guide, produced via a collaboration among FoDW, the Dicken Teachers, the Leslie Science and Nature Center, and the city's Natural Area Preservation Division. This Field Guide will help Dicken Teachers make the best possible use of DW as a classroom resource. This project was funded by the generosity of a FoDW member who asked to remain anonymous.
Then ...
In November 2002, the Dicken neighborhood of Ann Arbor learned of an imminent threat to the nature area known as Dicken Woods: a Novi developer's proposal would destroy the woods. The neighbors joined forces, and over the course of one year, 
succeeded in saving the woods. In October 2003, the Ann Arbor City Council voted to purchase Dicken Woods as city parkland.
... and Now
The Friends of Dicken Woods are now working as stewards of Dicken Woods, in close collaboration with Dicken Elementary School (adjacent to the woods), as well as the city Parks and Recreation Department and others. Learn more about the Friends' stewardship plans and activities. Or to learn more about the first phase of the Friends' work - the year-long effort to save the woods - see the original archived web site.
