Off-Campus: Ecological Research Center

The Joseph W. Jones Ecological Research Center at Ichauway is a 30,000 acre outdoor laboratory that was once Robert W. Woodruff's quail hunting preserve. It is now a state-of-the-art research site that focuses on both pure and applied ecological science. Ichauway, a field-trip destination for Conservation Biology students, is located in southwest Georgia and contains some of the best remnants of the longleaf pine ecosystem that are found anywhere in the U.S.
