State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry

The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry is an American specialized doctoral-granting institution located in the University Hill neighborhood of Syracuse, New York, immediately adjacent to Syracuse University. ESF also operates several regional campuses across central New York, including the New York State Ranger School in Wanakena, New York. The College's curricula focus on the understanding, management and sustainability of the environment and natural resources. It commemorated its centennial in 2011. The New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse... University was established in 1911 through a bill signed by New York Governor John Alden Dix. The previous year, Governor Hughes had vetoed a bill authorizing such a college. Both bills followed the state's defunding, in 1903, of the New York State College of Forestry at Cornell. Originally a unit of Syracuse University, in 1913, the College was made a separate, legal entity.
