For my nature destination the location I decided to choose was the field behind the Devault Alumni Center. It was just a perfect place for me since I go by there everyday, and I feel that it has a lot of history. The Devault Alumni Center is located on 1000 East 17th street here in Bloomington. or you could just say its located across from Assembly Hall and the new practice facility. It's size I would roughly say in between 3 to 5 acres that is filled with all types of trees and animal life. If you stand in the back of the center and look towards the business school you will notice Briscoe and McNutt Dorms to your left, and to the right a couple of houses and other fields.
This peace of land is loaded with many different types of trees and plenty of grass space to play around. If you walk along the field you would notice that it is very hilly and there are some boulders and cut down trees throughout the area. There are some plants and flowers that grow throughout the field when the weather is warm, but none as of now. Some attributes of this location is that it is a wonderful place to relax and read a book when the weather is nice. I remember when I stayed in the McNutt my freshman year and I would walk out back and see people playing or just laying down to get a tan or just go out and enjoy the scenery. Other than that it is a nice place to get a run if you feel the need to get in shape. With all the space it has to move around along with the sight seeing, you can take a jog and get a smell of all the fresh flowers in the summer time. As of summer and as well as the spring time I believe that it is one of the most beautiful places on campus. I think humans use this in many ways. One way is for tailgating for the football games and another is for parties because of the space and location. Also I noticed last year they used the area for ll of the seniors graduating by having booths set up along the back and activities to do. On my first insight of the area I think that this location has a lot of history and interesting things that go on other than human life.
