Carl Alwyn Schenck (March 25, 1868 – May 17, 1955) was a pioneering forestry educator in North America, known for his contributions as the forester for George W. Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate, and the founder of the Biltmore Forest School, the first practical forestry school in the United States, in 1898, near Asheville, NC.
Certainly the best example ever built in the United States is the 225 room Biltmore House (1888–1895), the home of George Washington Vanderbilt constructed in Asheville, NC, which was also designed by Hunt.
The immediate area after the interstate is known as Biltmore Village, where US 25A merges back and the Biltmore Estate is located.

The word "Biltmore" is said to have been coined by George Washington Vanderbilt II in the 1890s when he had Biltmore House constructed, see Biltmore Estate.
The largest section of the reserve was later renamed Shoshone National Forest, and it is the oldest National Forest in the U.S. But it was not until 1898 when German forester Dr. Carl A. Schenck, on the Biltmore Estate, and Cornell University founded the first two forestry schools, both run by Germans.
