Tuttle Educational State Forest, Environmental education forest in Lenoir, North Carolina.
The Tuttle Educational State Forest extends across 288 acres of land with trails connecting visitors to native plants and natural exhibits throughout the property.
Lelia Judson Tuttle, an American missionary educator, contributed the initial 168 acres of land for the establishment of this forest in 1956.
The forest functions as an outdoor classroom where students and visitors learn about forestry practices, wildlife management, and natural resource conservation.
Visitors can explore multiple hiking trails, examine interpretive signs, and participate in guided tours that explain local ecosystems and forest management techniques.
The forest contains a preserved cross-section of a 175-year-old Water Oak tree, which serves as an educational exhibit about tree growth and forest history.
