Duke Forest’s 2026 Annual Gathering

Save the date for the 2026 Duke Forest Annual Gathering, a special evening that brings together our Duke and local communities to celebrate another year of discovery, engagement, and stewardship at the Duke Forest Teaching and Research Laboratory.

This year’s program will showcase highlights of the Forest’s work across its three strategic areas — teaching and research, management and stewardship, and community engagement — demonstrating the enduring value of the Duke Forest as a living laboratory, an experiential classroom, a model for sustainable resource management, and a cherished community resource.

Exact event and program details will be provided in October. To receive your invitation to this flagship event when registration opens, subscribe to the Duke Forest’s monthly email newsletter.
