Box 766 <br /> Graham,NC 27253 <br /> Dear Mr. Dyer: <br /> I appreciate the opportunity to have spoken with you regarding your decision to place"No <br /> Parking"signs along Whitfield Road near several gates to the Korstian Division of the Duke <br /> Forest To provide you with some background I have enclosed a publication which describes the <br /> history and uses of the Forest. <br /> The Duke Forest has been owned and managed by Duke University as an outdoor teaching <br /> and research laboratory since 1931, During this period the public has not been restricted from <br /> entering these lands so long as certain guidelines are closely followed and the public use does not <br /> interfere with the Forest's academic mission. Except for certain designated picnic sites, available <br /> by reservation,the University has not constructed or maintained any facilities for public recreation. <br /> Recognizing that public use of the Faie..tit has increased dramatically over the past few <br /> years, and that this trend is likely to continue,additional guidelines may become necessary in order <br /> to meet teaching and research requirements. Duke University is therefore not in favor of <br /> establishing a parking area which would undoubtedly encourage public use. Please do not hesitate <br /> to contact me if there is additional information I could provide or if I can be of assistance in any <br /> way. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> p4414..ktrrr/1t,61cc.v�., <br /> Judson Edebum <br /> Duke Forest Resource Manager <br /> enclosure <br /> cc w/o enclosure: Dr.Norm Christensen <br /> Dr, Charles Putman <br /> COMRININC THE FORMER SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES AND THE MARINE I..ARORATORY <br /> TO -TYdd 1SIG W17Hb'a9 ±oa * EL890L50T6T TE:91 b661/9Z/8O <br />
