Catawba Sustainability Center
A living laboratory for sustainable land management
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ROANOKE COUNTY
Located in the beautiful Catawba Valley of Virginia, the center's 377-acre farm property is a place of interdisciplinary research and hands-on learning. Through research, teaching, and demonstration of sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry, and land management, our work exemplifies the notion that learning is interdisciplinary and occurs in both the classroom and with hands in the soil.
