The Environmental Education Center is approximately 1700 acres of forest land owned by Weyerhaeuser Company along the Neuse River about 6 miles upriver from New Bern. Their mission is to provide a real world setting for hands-on learning about forestry, ecology, and environmental issues. The area is a working forest actively being managed to demonstrate forest industry practices while maintaining/enhancing wildlife habitat, air and water quality, and aesthetic, recreational and historical values.
Cool Springs does not charge any fees for its use. Contact Jeff Hall at jeffhall@coolsprings.org to request a visit for your group.
