Education >> Introduction
Since 1931 the Duke Forest has provided continuous teaching opportunities for Duke University faculty and students in the fields of forestry, botany, zoology and environmental science. Today the Forest is also host to local universities and schools - plus many other universities and organizations nationwide - for studying natural resources and environmental science issues.
Each year academic use of Duke Forest includes thousands of visits from students exploring a wide variety of disciplines. Classes using the Duke Forest range from botany and silviculture to astronomy and Army ROTC.
