90 years ago, Duke researchers began the process of turning well-worn, tired farmland into a forest. To walk through @TheDukeForest now is to partake in a living natural history lesson.

As part of a long-term creek restoration in Duke Forest, local freshwater mussels are being reintroduced to New Hope Creek. @NCWildlife biologists led Nicholas School MEM students in acclimating and relocating 1,000 Notched rainbow mussels (Villosa constricta) to their new home.

Thank you @NC_WRRI for this incredible opportunity to study #PFAS in the urban water resources that so many in our state rely upon for recreation and drinking water! Excited to collaborate with our community collaborators @DukeEnvironment @TheDukeForest #ECWA @CityofDurhamNC
Meet our next fellow, Jonny Behrens! Jonny is a PhD student at @DukeU where he studies #PFAS in an urban stream in #DurhamNC. Jonny’s favorite outdoor spot in NC is any mountain stream near Boone. For more information about Jonny’s project, visit go.ncsu.edu/ncwrri-fellows

#DukeClimateCommitment: Duke experts are lighting forests on fire – on purpose – with prescribed burns. These smaller fires burn just enough for positive effects and restoring the environment.
Setting forest fires ... for good! Watch to learn more:

Fighting climate change may feel too big for any one person to take on. But if enough of us change our behaviors and promote change in our communities, we can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 37% over the next 30 years

Sustainable campus operations are one part of the #DukeClimateCommitment, a university-wide initiative to create sustainable and equitable solutions to address the climate crisis. Learn more at @dukeuclimate climate.duke.edu
