The University of Kentucky’s Wood Utilization Center has long been recognized for its work with the forest products industry. However, it is also a great place for the public to engage in woodworking activities while learning about the state’s forestry and natural resources.

Located at UK’s Robinson Center for Appalachian Resource Sustainability in Quicksand, the Wood Utilization Center is a component of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment’s experiment station. It contains an industrial hardwood processing laboratory, classrooms and a kiln for drying hardwood lumber. 

Several times a year, the center invites groups from across the commonwealth to engage with specialists to provide a fun, educational experience.
