Students actively take part in the restoration of a 70-year-old nut grove. The MacDaniel’s Nut Grove is being developed as a multipurpose forest-farming teaching, research, and extension site. Hands-on activities include site evaluation and planning, temperate-nut harvest and variety evaluation, mushroom culture, small-fruit and fruit-tree culture, and medicinal-herb culture. Outdoor activities are integrated with selected readings via an online discussion board.
