The Arnot helps support the teaching, extension, and research mission of the Department of Natural Resources and Cornell University. These opportunities are provided in the context of a multiple-use, managed forest, producing timber and maple products and providing recreational opportunities for the public.

The Arnot also hosts annual educational training workshops for Cornell Cooperative Extension. A woodland wildlife habitat demonstration plot is established as a self-guided tour or through the internet at: . Current research projects include studies of breeding bird populations, forest gap analysis, and forest stand dynamics.
