Harvard University's holdings reach beyond Cambridge campus

FromThe Boston Globe: It's hard to divorce Harvard University from iconic images of ancient brick buildings around manicured greens in Cambridge, Mass. But less known is that the university is a sprawling enterprise with land holdings and facilities across the Boston region. The school owns more than 4,000 acres in the Boston suburbs and Central Massachusetts, much of it woodlands, used for research and teaching in the sciences, medicine, and American history.
