Episode 26: Supporting Slocum Camp, With Sam Cook

On this episode of the NC State Philanthropy Podcast, we’re joined by Sam Cook, executive director of forest assets for the College of Natural Resources, to discuss how private support helps make these special areas possible. The college oversees 11 properties scattered across 12 North Carolina counties, enabling Natural Resources students to participate in the kind of experiential learning for which NC State is known.

Particularly important is Slocum Camp, located in Bahama, North Carolina, where forestry and fisheries, wildlife and conservation biology students take part in immersive summer camp programs each year. Cook’s work is instrumental in ensuring that those students, as well as other university visitors and various guests, can enjoy everything the educational forest has to offer.
