Open for guided tours every weekend in March, April, May, August and November. Caroline Dormon was the first woman employed in forestry in the United States. Almost single-handedly she worked with Louisiana and U.S. Forest Service to establish Kisatchie National Forest. At Briarwood Caroline collected and replanted her favorite native plants. Conservationists and horticulturists from all over the world travel to Briarwood-to walk down forest trails, to savor the beauty of the Louisiana iris bog, to admire the reflection pool and to enjoy the most complete botanical and wildlife sanctuary in Louisiana.
