Morris State Woods Nature Preserve is located in Johnstown, Ohio, and spans over 100 acres of diverse forestry and wetlands. These serve as a habitat for an array of wildlife and vegetation. The preserve is also used by people for outdoor activities such as bird watching and hiking. The preserve was made possible through a gift by James W. Abbott to the people of Ohio in 1979. The woodland was named after his father Morris Abbott. Originally farmland, the nature preserve was turned into a large forest and natural habitat for various species that are also attracted to the preserve's small lake located within the site.
