About >> Duke Forest staff
The Duke Forest staff perform a variety of functions, including research site preparation, class instruction, leading of educational tours, forest management activities, grounds and equipment maintenance, geographic information system (GIS) administration, and accounting administration for research projects.
Contact the Forest office for potential forest stand manipulations such as thinning and prescribed burning. Research field areas can be mowed, disked or planted using in-house equipment. Location of study areas can be pinpointed using our global positioning system (GPS) unit.
The Office of the Duke Forest maintains a comprehensive geographic information system (GIS) database, which may be downloaded from our Web site. Stand management histories and other paper records also are available from the Office of the Duke Forest.
