Brayton Memorial Forest: Future Vision

Authors: Billy Beck (Iowa State University) , Troy Heeran (Iowa State University)

Abstract

The Brayton Forest is an active forest management, applied research, extension, and teaching site for ISU, the State of Iowa, and the region. It has the potential to be a hub of forestry for the state and region—fostering and exemplifying the critical interdisciplinary and interagency partnerships required for successful forestry within the agricultural Midwest. The vision is for the forest to be a location for experiential learning, sought out by instructors and students within and beyond ISU. As a highly maintained and accessible public land resource, the forest could create forestry advocates out of each Iowan who experiences its recreational, educational, and inspirational resources.
