For nature lovers in the region, Duke Forest has long been a refuge from the noisy and often hectic routine of modern life.

Abby Niedermann, Nurse Anesthetist at 老牛影视 Hospital, is one of many people who have chosen to combine their love of nature with volunteering as a community scientist for Duke Forest.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a really cool way to meet people and work toward a common goal [of] improving the health of the natural world around us,鈥 Niedermann said.
