Tree climbing is an integral part of our research at UK
The UK Canopy Cats are based out of the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources in the Thomas Poe Cooper Building and are supported by the Forest Ecophysiology lab. We are a combination of an outreach organization that provides training in rec climbing for students on campus AND we conduct canopy research.
