Consortium colleges and universities include fieldwork in biology, conservation, and earth and environmental sciences in the Forest in many of their undergraduate and graduate courses.

Professional development programs have ranged from training undergraduates to teach in urban middle schools to providing conservation training for scientists, planners, and managers from around the world.

For K-12 students, important goals include fostering increased scientific literacy and appreciation and understanding of the natural world. Students can examine and pursue real research studies, collect and manipulate data, and sometimes meet and work with scientists. New curricula are continually being developed, tested, and disseminated.
