The Forest is our common ground

The Forestry Outreach Center provides a space in which people of all ages can learn about the natural world and the Berea College Forest. Using a model of community education in which each person participates as both a teacher and a learner, our hope is that the Center will act as a bridge between College and community, fostering an attitude of stewardship of the ecosystems and watersheds that sustain us.

Students working at the Center get hands-on experience in environmental education and outreach and exposure to the many different groups who use the Center for meetings and events.
