Let the Forest be your classroom...

Berea College stewards over 9,000 acres of forest land, fostering a unique learning opportunity for students. Multiple colleges and universities have undergraduate and graduate students visiting the Forest for classes and research.

  • Walk or hike in the forest at the Pinnacles, Anglin Falls, or Brushy Fork (with or without FOC staff)
