““BRDC is an ideal partner in education for our field-based undergraduate course in Ecology. They hosted our group of 14 students for a 3-day field trip and their location was a perfect home base for exploring all the beauty and biodiversity of the Mt. Rogers region.””
— Dr. Susan Whitehead, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, Virginia Tech
