MACDANIELS NUT GROVE OPEN HOUSE
THIS Sunday, October 6, 2013 at 1:00pm to 4:30pm

Mushrooms, fruit, ginseng and other medicinal plants can all be farmed 
in the forest. Explore cornell's crops under the canopy, taste nuts and 
paw paws, and take home your own log inoculated with shiitake mushrooms!

The MacDaniels Nut Grove is a forest farming and agroforestry research 
and education center located in the Cornell Plantations Upper Cascadilla 
Natural Area. The 5-acre site, just east of Cornell Orchards, was 
originally planted in the 1930s by pioneering horticulturist Dr. L.H. 
MacDaniels (1888-1986).

Neglected for decades, researchers and students began renovating the 
site and establishing new research projects since 2002. The site 
currently boasts demonstrations of a wide range of crops that can be 
grown in the forest, including mushrooms, wild leeks, ginseng, 
ornamental plants, nuts, and fruits like Paw Paw.

MacDaniels Nut Grove is located near Cornell Orchards, behind the 
Library Annex. From Rt. 366, turn at the traffic light onto Palm Road, 
then take your first right onto Book Road to the Mann Library Annex 
parking lot.
