Clemson Experimental Forest, Experimental forest near Clemson University, South Carolina.
The Clemson Experimental Forest extends across 17,500 acres of land dedicated to natural resource conservation, research, and education near Lake Hartwell.
The forest emerged from a 1934 conservation project funded by Roosevelt's New Deal programs, transforming 30,000 acres of depleted farmlands into managed woodlands.
Students and researchers use the forest as a living laboratory to study forest management, wildlife habitats, and environmental conservation techniques.
The trail system spans over 100 miles across three areas: Fant's Grove, Issaqueena/Keowee Heights, and Todd's Creek, supporting hiking, biking, and horseback riding.
The forest maintains financial independence through revenue from fees, grants, and forest products, without receiving state or university allocated funds.
