Battle Park and Forest Theatre, UNC-Chapel Hill

Battle Park and Forest Theatre, UNC-Chapel Hill Battle Park is a 93 acre tract of Piedmont forest adjacent to UNC-Chapel Hill and includes historic Forest Theatre.

It is managed by North Carolina Botanical Garden, a department of UNC Chapel Hill. The park is named for Kemp Plummer Battle, president of UNC from 1876 to 1891, who laid out the original trail system and spent many happy and contemplative hours within the forest. Although not a pristine forest, much of the 93-acre Battle Park consists of forest that predates European settlement in the area (1740)

. On July 1, 2004, at the request of James Moeser, Chancellor of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the North Carolina Botanical Garden assumed responsibility for Battle Park. The Garden will be working to restore the trails with funding supplied by the University. We will also be developing university and public educational programs for this important tract.

We had a wonderful turnout on a beautiful Fall day yesterday! The dumptruck is FULL. Thanks to all who came out to help pull English Ivy near the Monarch of the Forest. Especially our partners/friends APO, Apples SLI, UNC MD/PHD program, any other groups I may have forgotten, and as always, all the "free agents." See you next semester!
