Lawson-Wiedman Prairie native prairie area next to the Hurley-Tieben Woods was dedicated Saturday, September 23, 2017 from a post by the USF Fort Wayne Sciences on Facebook:

Help kick off USF's Homecoming celebration on Saturday Sep 23rd at 2pm behind Achatz Hall of Science. At that time the University will be dedicating the native prairie area next to the Hurley-Tieben Woods as the Lawson-Wiedman Prairie. Dr. Larry Wiedman (Doc) is recently retired Professor Emeritus and brave Field Studies professor, taking students all over the U.S. and Bahamas for over 30+ years! Mr. Dave Lawson is Doc's father-in-law and has been on over 30 of those Field Studies classes. His financial generosity has helped fund many student scholarships for students in need to attend these amazing classes. Dave was also named an honorary alum of USF in 2004. Please join us for this special ceremony celebrating both of these wonderful, giving, special men who have both contributed so much to so many students over three decades at USF.

Dedicated in 2017, the prairie is a great outdoor space used for senior research projects, dozens of courses, and even ecotherapy. How neat is that? #usffw
