Robinson Forest, Experimental forest in Kentucky, United States
The 14,800-acre Robinson Forest contains undisturbed watersheds within the Cumberland Plateau region, featuring mixed mesophytic forest environments and diverse plant species.
In 1922, lumber company owner E.O. Robinson donated the land to the University of Kentucky for agricultural research and reforestation demonstration purposes.
The Department of Forestry and Natural Resources manages this facility for teaching sustainable practices and conducting research in forest ecology and resource management.
The forest maintains research facilities available for educational purposes, including observation points from the Robinson Forest Fire Tower with webcam access.
Robinson Forest represents one of the most diverse forest regions in temperate North America, with minimal human interference in its main block.
