BGSU Firelands is also the site of the McBride Arboretum (named in honor of Dr. James McBride, the college's first dean), a natural spot that was carefully thought out, designed and implemented to showcase the plants, trees and grasses that are a part of the natural setting of the Firelands region. The latest addition to the Arboretum was donated by Deering family of Erie County and is an all-weather deck built along one of the many small bodies of water in the Arboretum, which is 60 feet (18 m) long, on which students and the public can enjoy nature. The Arboretum is managed for BGSU Firelands by Erie MetroParks.
