SUNY ESF

New York-based college focused on the study of the environment. Are you ready to Improve Our World?

The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) is the oldest and largest college in the United States devoted solely to the study of the environment. Since our establishment in 1911, we have developed innovative programs in a broad range of academic areas related to biology, chemistry, engineering, management, design and planning. We focus on educating problem solvers who will help develop the science and technology for a sustainable future.

You may have seen the taxidermy lining our main floor of Gateway (including the beloved musk ox), but did you know that only makes up a fraction of our specimens? It's all a part of the Roosevelt Wildlife Collection!

Named after famed U.S. President and conservationist Theodore Roosevelt, the collection serves as a fantastic learning tool for our students and is carefully maintained. We are currently digitizing information related to the collection, and it has around 10,000 specimens 🤯

Did you know that wetlands are a powerful protector of our environment and the living things in it?

Wetlands are often the first line of defense for communities facing severe weather, particularly due to climate change, and help cycle nutrients. They also house some of our favorite critters such as salamanders and frogs and can also serve as spawning sites.

Central New York has significant freshwater wetlands, including popular site Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, which is 10,004 acres large!

Today, the SUNY ESF community joins in the acknowledgement of Memorial Day.

As we spend time outdoors and with loved ones, let us pause to honor the sacrifice of our service members and reflect on what it means to serve and protect—both our nation and the environment we all share.
