During the CEFTS meeting we visited the Cradle of Forestry in the Pisgah National Forest for the business meeting, lunch, and a tour of the Forestry School.

Outside the Perkins Meeting Room, Doug Staiger told us the story of the display cabinet. It contains artifacts from Carl Schenck donated by his family. The cabinet was built by a student from Haywood Community College and  paid for by CEFTS. It was dedicate during the CEFTS meeting in 1998. The wood had been donated by the Biltmore Estate from trees planted by Schenck’s students.
