Belt Woods, Nature reserve in Prince George's County, Maryland, US.
Belt Woods contains a 43-acre woodland of old growth hardwood forest with white oaks and tulip poplars reaching heights over 100 feet.
Seton Belt, a banker and gentleman farmer who owned 3,200 acres across six farms, specified in his 1959 will that the trees should remain untouched.
The forest supports one of the highest densities of breeding birds on the Atlantic coastal plain, with 300 pairs per 100 acres recorded.
Access to Belt Woods remains restricted to scientific research to protect its fragile ecosystem and maintain its environmental significance for future studies.
The South Woods section represents one of the last remaining stands of virgin hardwood forest along the entire Atlantic coastal plain.
