90 years ago, Duke researchers began the process of turning well-worn, tired farmland into a forest. To walk through @TheDukeForest now is to partake in a living natural history lesson.

Elusive glowing salamanders and rivers that fart: check out these and other revelations at the annual research tour hosted by @TheDukeForest https://t.co/vbrg2h02jA
As part of a long-term creek restoration in Duke Forest, local freshwater mussels are being reintroduced to New Hope Creek. @NCWildlife biologists led Nicholas School MEM students in acclimating and relocating 1,000 Notched rainbow mussels (Villosa constricta) to their new home.
@airtablestatus@airtable FYI "Expand the table" pasting of data is not working. Tried with Edge, Windows app, Chrome, multiple users and in different bases.
The Hard-Working Wheels of Duke: Filled with gear and ready for challenging terrain, Duke Forest’s pick-up trucks see plenty of action. https://t.co/R4v3Y3ZDLQ @TheDukeForest
Led by Kyle Bradbury, the Energy Data Analytics Lab at @NichInstitute is applying new data science techniques to satellite imagery to detect and map energy resources https://t.co/xaKZW8jkyK
Thank you @NC_WRRI for this incredible opportunity to study #PFAS in the urban water resources that so many in our state rely upon for recreation and drinking water! Excited to collaborate with our community collaborators @DukeEnvironment@TheDukeForest#ECWA@CityofDurhamNC
This fantastic crew installed some shallow monitoring wells from which we can collect GHG samples this summer to understand stream GHG flux at #newhopecreek! @NickMarzolf@geographyunc
Controlled burns help preserve longleaf pines in @TheDukeForest. Go behind the scenes of a recent burn and learn what it takes to keep this fire-dependent tree species healthy: https://t.co/MwpAKISwtU
#DukeClimateCommitment: Duke experts are lighting forests on fire – on purpose – with prescribed burns. These smaller fires burn just enough for positive effects and restoring the environment.
Setting forest fires ... for good! Watch to learn more:

Duke has been committed to building a culture of sustainability and is constantly working to reduce the university’s environmental impact. Take a virtual walk around campus and see the impacts of our sustainability work in action: https://t.co/yqyhsGxo44
Fighting climate change may feel too big for any one person to take on. But if enough of us change our behaviors and promote change in our communities, we can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 37% over the next 30 years
Sustainable campus operations are one part of the #DukeClimateCommitment, a university-wide initiative to create sustainable and equitable solutions to address the climate crisis. Learn more at @dukeuclimate https://t.co/kpurPtqVVM
With colder weather and shorter days, there's never a better time to view the night sky.
