管理单位, special management areas and outdoor classrooms provide the connection to field-based education, 教师和研究生研究. 自然资源学院 public outreach workshops and field tours help to support and fulfill the land-grant mission of the University of 爱达荷州: research, 教学, 和服务.
娱乐
徒步旅行,山地自行车,骑马,还有 越野滑雪 是探索森林道路和小径的好方法吗. 游客们被鼓励去探索Upper Hatter的小径, 铁杉, 玄武岩山, 及大草甸溪特别管理区, as well as a network of smaller SMA parcels with unique conservation value that support research and 教学 throughout the UIEF. 我们欢迎任何想在森林里度过一段时间的人. Please follow signs or contact the Experimental Forest Manager to make sure you do not interrupt research activities.
No motorized recreational access of any kind is permitted on the Experimental Forest. 不允许打靶. 所有在实验森林的狩猎活动都需要免费许可证. 许可证和更多信息可通过 给罗布·基夫发邮件.
因为它们体积小,娱乐用途多, Roger Guernsey户外教室(Pinestia)不允许打猎。, 布洛杰特户外教室, 或大草甸溪休闲区.
户外实验室
爱达荷州是我们的教室. 无论是为未来的职业生涯学习还是进行研究, University of 爱达荷州 students are learning skills that will lead them on their path to the future.
国际田联运动会

尽管这些建筑现在早已不复存在, 大草甸溪曾经是平民保护团(CCC) S 260营地的所在地, and many of the direct-seeded and planted stands originated during restoration efforts carried out by the CCC. Maps and detailed records of the original seeding and planting units are on file in the Experimental Forest historical archives in Phinney Hall B-13 and B-17.

The 罗杰根西户外教室 (also known as Pinestia) was gifted to the 自然资源学院 by former state forester Roger Guernsey, to provide a demonstration area illustrating principles of small woodlot management. Cathedral Ponderosa pines are interlaced with clusters of young regeneration in gaps. The current standing volume of timber at Pinestia is approximately equal to the volume that has been harvested over the last 30 years.
访问
在普林斯顿6号高速公路向东行驶,向北(左)转到金山路. Continue for approximately 1 mile and look for a small gravel driveway access surrounded by large Ponderosa pine trees on the left. 当你进入停车场时,寻找右边的一个黑色邮箱. In this mailbox you will find pamphlets leading you on a guided tour of the property that covers the unique features of its history and management.
布洛杰特户外教室
The 80-acre 布洛杰特户外教室 was gifted to the college by Earle and Eva Blodgett in 1988 to provide a 教学 classroom close to the Moscow campus. 学造林的学生, 生态系统过程, 森林作业经常将教室用作野外实验室. The annual Future Farmers of America (FFA) statewide Forestry Career Development Event is hosted at Blodgett.
马修米. 麦戈文纪念树农场
马修·M. 麦戈文纪念树农场 provides an ideal location for Extension forestry workshops in the Cougar Creek drainage, 靠近科达伦. Mary Alice McGovern gifted this 238-acre property to the college with a primary objective of demonstrating forest management techniques.
