McMaster University is surrounded by beautiful natural areas. Just steps from campus are waterfalls, valleys, meadows, wetlands and forests–all of which are scenic and dynamic places to explore. The picturesque landscape of West Hamilton was a vital reason for the placement of McMaster University almost one hundred years ago. Since then, our long association with the world-class Royal Botanical Gardens and other local conservation organizations have ensured that McMaster’s natural backyard is protected and preserved.
