Giving Opportunities >> Introduction
Duke Forest practices sustainable timber management, which provides habitat diversity that benefits both research projects and wildlife. Few realize, however, that timber harvesting also provides over 80% of the operating revenue for the Forest. Duke University contributes only about 5% of our yearly operating income, with the remainder of our revenue coming from reimbursement for research support.
Private contributions allow us to:
- expand our environmental education programs for the public,
- better maintain our network of foot trails,
- improve management and protection of our significant natural areas, and
- provide additional internship opportunities for students.

If you enjoy the many benefits that the Forest provides, we hope that you will consider making a tax-deductible contribution. Gifts can be targeted towards a variety of specific needs.
