 First Forestry Scool
But most of them don’t realize that the forests they enjoy are the legacy of 100 years of forestry education in America, a legacy that began in North Carolina in 1898 when the country’s first forestry school opened in the mountains between Asheville and Brevard.
That school was the Biltmore Forest School, and its opening on Sept. 1, 1898, also marked the beginning of professional forestry and the conservation movement in America, according to Harry Hafer, executive director of the Cradle of Forestry in America Interpretive Association.
Schenck also believed that North Carolina State was continuing the tradition of excellence in forestry training, Tombaugh said, adding that when Schenck received an honorary doctor of forest science degree from the school in 1952, he said that he viewed the forestry programs as the embodiment of the legacy of the Biltmore Forest School.

 No. 03-48: Biltmore Forest Broadcasting v. FCC - Opposition
The jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under 28 U.S.C. This case arises out of an administrative licensing proceeding in which the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had to select among mutually exclusive applications for a permit to construct an FM radio broadcast station in Biltmore Forest, North Carolina.
The Biltmore Forest applications, therefore, were considered initially in an evidentiary hearing before an administrative law judge.1 Before that proceeding became final, however, intervening statutory changes caused the FCC to adopt competitive bidding procedures, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. to resolve pending applications, including the Biltmore Forest applications.
The FCC further reasoned that the Public Notice of the Biltmore Forest auction did not clearly state that an omission of that certification could not be cured.
