BC Forestry Outreach Center – @bereacollegefoc

A research project is being conducted in the Pinnacles forest by the University of Louisville. Although this fact is very exciting, we ask that all visitors pay it the same respects that they would pay the rest of forest. The information we gain from this experiment is crucial to proper forest management of our forest! If you have any questions about the experiment, or anything else regarding the beautiful forest we have here at the Pinnacles, feel free to contact the forestry outreach center!

“I grew up in a large, loud, home-schooled family; The 4th child of five. When me and my siblings visit home, late night conversations and good memories always seem to center around the kitchen… Though my Mother didn’t always have access to the best ingredients as she shopped on a budget. This legacy of thriftiness and good, soulful food led me to my passion for foraging.”

"We often don’t think about the sky above us as a part of the ecosystem other than when weather is involved. But it is! People have used stars and other objects in the sky for thousands and thousands of years to help them navigate, tell time, know when to plant crops, and create folklore and art. In fact, many animals use the sky for travelling and telling time!"

The Forestry Outreach Center has partnered with a local astronomer, Jeff Hutton, who writes monthly about interesting things in the night sky. You can read his Skies Over the Pinnacles articles by clicking any of the pictures or the button labeled 'Skies Over the Pinnacles'!
