The Forest Ecology Preserve is a nature center established as an outreach program of the Auburn University School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences. The Preserve’s mission is to provide programs, experiences, nature trails, and natural habitats for education, study, and relaxation, while creating an atmosphere of discovery and stewardship toward our natural world. It is supported principally through memberships, private gifts, and the efforts of many volunteers. The center has been established to reach out to all people of every age with a strong focus on families and children. Besides providing 110 acres with miles of beautiful wooded hiking trails and other special features, it also provides regularly scheduled programs presented by professionals in their field. Field trip opportunities for school-age children are available by reservation. These programs include exciting, active and hands-on environmental education activities that support the Alabama curriculum course of study.  (hide details)
