I enjoy hiking so I definitely enjoyed our lab in the Hitchiti Experimental Forest. The lab consisted of us walking a few miles through the woods, taking a picture of us hugging a tree, and getting a chance to see the Oconee River.

I don't know what else to say besides that. The purpose of the lab was to see the trees and discuss experimental burning techniques to study the regeneration of the ecosystem as well as to guard against overgrowth plants. (Smokey the Bear was a little bit too successful in his attempts to prevent forest fires. But forest fires are a nature part of the life cycle of a forest.)
In conclusion, if anyone likes nature hikes or even rock climbing, check out the Hitchiti Experimental Forest.
