Florence Jones Reineman Wildlife Sanctuary (1966-present)

Created by a trust under the will of Mrs. Florence W. Erdman in memory of her mother, the Florence Jones Reineman Wildlife Sanctuary was established for Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1966, and dedicated on September 30, 1971.

This 3037-acre sanctuary, located in Green Valley, Perry County, was to be used solely for field studies in botany, biology, and geology, as well as the conservation and preservation of wildlife. Recreation such as hunting, fishing, or trapping is prohibited. The trustees, in exchange for supervision and educational use by the College, would pay all capital costs and program funding.
