The Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve and Nature Center is a 120-acre forest located in Auburn, Alabama. Established in 1993 when Dr. Louise Kreher Turner and her husband, Frank Allen Turner, endowed the property to the Auburn University School ofForestry and Wildlife Sciences, it's more casually known as the Kreher Preserve & Nature Center. Once home to Creek Indians, this acreage was later used as a cotton farm by the Carter and Cooper families, who inhabited the homestead which still remainson the property. It was from the Cooper family that Dr. and Mr. Turner bought the land, using it for their cattle before allowing the forest to go back to its natural state. The Turners envisioned that their former farm could be used for educational purposes by Auburn University and the surrounding community.
