The Claytor Nature Study Center is a 470-acre outdoor classroom and laboratory dedicated to the study and appreciation of our natural environment.
The center boasts the 7,700-square-foot A. Boyd Claytor III Education and Research Facility, Belk Astronomical Observatory, an antebellum farmhouse with landscaped gardens, and many natural features.
These resources enhance the College's educational programs, offering LC students and regional PreK-12 students and teachers the opportunity to participate in hands-on environmental research.
More than 3,000 people visit Claytor annually, which also features a campground, a small amphitheatre, and nature trails.
