Member Exclusive: Sustainability Tour

Drastic weather events are becoming increasingly common; utility costs are on the rise; biodiversity loss is rapidly accelerating. Now more than ever, climate resilience is of the utmost importance. Go behind-the-scenes with Manager of Sustainability and Technology Jim Hanson to discover a sustainable Duke Farms. Visit our state-of-the-art solar array and battery storage system, experience our electrified collection of tools and vehicle fleet, and learn about the 112-acre floodplain restoration project that is helping us maximize carbon sequestration and better protect us against flooding. Duke Farms is paving the way, and we want you to be a part of our progress.

This is a member exclusive program. To learn more and become a member, visit dukefarms.org/membership.

All programs begin at the Farm Barn Orientation Center unless otherwise noted.

Registration is required. Please let us know if you are no longer able to attend so your space can be offered to someone else.

Programs at Duke Farms are held rain or shine, but in the event of severe or impeditive weather, classes may be canceled. Notice will be given as early as possible via email and refunds will be issued in the case of cancellations.

This class involves traveling about 1 mile on mixed (paved and unpaved) surfaces, with participants moving for the entire duration. Most program routes can be adapted to accommodate mobility needs.
