The Carl Alwin Schenck Memorial Forest in the western area of Wake County is a 245-acre forest around ten minutes away from the campus of North Carolina State University. The grounds are managed by the university as a resource for research and teaching as a demonstration of the many benefits that are generated by actively managing a forest. Guests can stroll through the well-maintained forest trails and enjoy viewing wildlife and bird watching, have a picnic in one of the maintained facilities, and see how a managed forest shows successional stages. The Frances L. Liles Trails is one of the most popular trails.
