Horseshoe Bend (HSB) is a 35 acre (14.2 hectare) facility located along the Oconee River, just minutes from campus. HSB is a series of old fields, successional forests, experimental areas, nature trails, and agroecosystem plots. Research into plant and animal ecology, no-till agriculture, stress ecology, animal behavior has been conducted since 1965. HSB has continuing research projects in soil ecology and sustainable agriculture and offers researchers the opportunity to conduct field experiments at a convenient and well characterized research site. Two multi-use buildings for class use, meetings and community service functions are located on site.
