Clarification
While Sherwood Forest was originally planted in 1937 as a “living library” of Colorado trees, it never contained every species native to the state. Today, the grove next to the Michael Smith Natural Resources Building provides an engaging natural area on campus; “Hug a Tree in Sherwood Forest” is one of the 70 things students should do before they graduate.
Correction
The photo of CSU’s first football team that appeared in the Fall 2022 issue of CSU Magazine was taken in 1893 by Steven Seckner, and provided by John Hirn (B.A., ’93), volunteer historian for CSU Athletics, who also was the source for the photo of Fum McGraw on Page 41 of that issue.
