At Bernheim learning comes naturally. We weave the lessons of nature into everything we offer from art, to guided nature hikes, school field trips and nature based play and exploration, Bernheim is a living laboratory.
Because of its size and our conservation efforts, Bernheim is one of the most pristine and healthiest forests in the country. That means we attract researchers from all over the world. The research conducted at Bernheim informs best practices in land protection and conservation.
