Creswick campus is an important teaching location for the Melbourne School of Land and Environment's forestry courses, perfectly located near a 610 hectare demonstration forest. Adjoining this forest is the 20 hectare campus of Creswick, with its extensive range of tree species, only 15 kilometres of Ballarat. Some of the buildings on the campus were part of the original Creswick goldfields hospital and are significant to Victoria's heritage. For forestry students, the adjacent Victorian Timber Industries Training Centre and Creswick Landcare Centre, allows students access to a training sawmill, nursery and laboratories, and easy access to a diverse range of forests.
