The Trimble Community Forest is a forest preserve owned by the Appalachia Ohio Alliance, a land trust located in southeast Ohio. It was purchased in 2006 from the Sunday Creek Coal Company, and was formerly part of the Sunday Creek State Wildlife Area . The land has a long history of coal, oil, natural gas, and timber production. The AOA negotiated with the Trimble Township Trustees on its use before purchase . It is located in Athens County, Ohio, south of Ohio State Route 78, between Glouster, Ohio and Murray City, Ohio.
The forest is used as a land lab by nearby Trimble High School and Trimble Middle School. The land lab area is known as the Trimble Tomcat Environmental Learning Lab.
