Cradle of Forestry

The Cradle of Forestry, as the name suggests, is the birthplace of forestry and the science of forest management in the USA. The centre is located on US 276, about 10 miles from Brevard, and includes a centre with exhibits and educational resources, and also a trail of about one mile where you can see an assortment of tool and equipment used today and in days gone by.
