The North Carolina Forest Service operates a system of seven Educational State Forests (ESFs) throughout the state, including Clemmons, Holmes, Jordan Lake, Mountain Island, Turnbull Creek, and Tuttle. These forests are specifically designed to educate the public, particularly school children, about the forest environment through self-guided trails, exhibits, tree identification signs, and a talking tree trail.

With specially trained rangers available to conduct classes for school and youth groups, the Educational State Forests offer a range of programs covering various aspects of the forest environment, from soil and water to wildlife and timber management. These forests provide an interactive and educational experience that aligns with the science curriculum objectives set by the N.C. Department of Education.
