Historical Note


Originally founded in 1929, the North Carolina Forestry Foundation is the oldest foundation at North Carolina State University. From its early days, Foundation promoted a complete forest management education program including objectives to promote the production, improvement, and preservation of growing timber; to encourage the adoption of means and methods for the reforestation of cut-over timber lands or lands with no timber growth; to hold tracts of virgin timber as object lessons in forestry; to use these tracts of land to educate the public; and to encourage the donation of money and the making of gifts to the Foundation. To achieve these goals, Dr. J. V. Hofmann, began acquiring land in the early 1930s. He acquired 78,000 acres in Jones and Onslow Counties that later became known as the Hofmann Forest. Currently, the Foundation and the College of Natural Resources control or oversee about 90,000 acres of land used for the various objectives mentioned above.

The Pulp and Paper Foundation was incorporated in 1954. The Southern paper industry desired to have a regional paper science curriculum to provide a source of graduates with the technical and engineering skills necessary to immediately have an impact on its paper mills. Through the foundation, industry provided many scholarships and summer jobs to students. The Pulp and Paper Foundation also assisted in the recruitment of undergraduate students for the Pulp and Paper Science program.
