Equestrian Lincoln (Lincoln the Itinerant Lawyer) standing in front of Bray Hall on the campus of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse.
I was a freshman at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF). I am amazed looking back at this photo, that i captured the action so well with my Exa 1a with a waist-level finder. Kodachrome, of course. This was during an ESF "woodsman's meet."
Dave Rosher with his Pentax Spotmatic. Probably on the boat from Cranberry Lake Biological Station. I haven't seen him in nearly 40 years, but I think he now lives in Lexington, VA and still biking and hiking.
So the homework is done (for now) and it's back to class I go. But we've got the best part of the day to come, because I'm taking y'all to woodsmen practice tonight. #ESFwoodsmen #esffall #takeover #esf360 via Instagram ift.tt/1NPfxM9 Created at September 24, 2015 at 01:46PM
The stone stream crossing and small culvert for water passage were placed by a farmer years ago and inhibited the migration of sucker, bullhead, walleye and other fish.

Absolutely gorgeous #fall shot of our campus thanks to our student @emfiniki We are looking forward to showing prospective students our campus this Saturday at open house! 🍁🍂🌰 #esffall #esf#happyfall #esfquad #esfstudents #autumn #collegecampus #instafall #beautifulday #sunshine #visitesf via Instagram ift.tt/1KCH7Xo Created at October 27, 2015 at 09:25AM
The small culvert for passage was too high to allow flow through it during low water levels, and at high water levels, the water rushed through too quickly for fish.

The crossing was reconstructed using more stone on top of the bottomless arch.
The landowner donated use of a skid steer to load stone onto the dump truck.

Well that's a wrap! Thanks for hanging out! Remember, if you have any questions for me, ask away @thatkidnameddoug Goodnight! #esffall #takeover #esf360 #ESFwoodsmen via Instagram ift.tt/1gSV3Fu Created at September 24, 2015 at 09:26PM
The new stream crossing enables the migration of fish including suckers, bullhead and walleye.
The State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry will monitor the site under the instruction of John Farrell.
The Fish Enhancement, Mitigation, and Research Fund (FEMRF) financed the project. FEMRF was established as part of a settlement agreement with the New York Power Authority reached in the relicensing of the St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project.

On Monday, November 13, 2017, the 7th grade students took a trip to SUNY ESF. The students went on a tour of the college led by current ESF students. On this tour, students learned about the history of ESF as well as the many programs that they offer. Our students also participated in college based scientific exercises lead by ESF professors. On this college visit, students learned that the sky's the limit, and they can do anything that they put their minds to. “Begin with the end in mind” is our motto in 7th grade. We encourage the students to think about their goals and plan for the future. This trip is an excellent example of that commitment!

From August 1st to the 5th, 2016 students from SAS enjoyed the SUNY ESF Science Camp. The "Science" stands for Summer Camps Investigating Ecology in Neighborhood and City Environments, Students enjoyed a variety of activities in our city's environment. They took water samples testing for various factors including insect levels and pollutants. Students explored the lake at the Clark Reservation State Park. Samples of the fish popluation were taken at Onondaga Lake Park. The amazing activities concluded at the SUNY ESF campus with solar powered cars to demonstrate the renewable resource that we all need to embrace! Thank you to the counselors for providing our students with a great experience! We will see you next year!

Willow Patch Year 4 with half the willow in stormwater area harvested for new Living Willow Sculpture entry follies. Photos taken very early in the growing season.
The Willow Patch consists of 4 basins for the retention of stormwater. The basins are separated by weirs made of reused sidewalks from the catchment area (where the stormwater comes from).
Elizabeth Hunter, a graduate student at SUNY ESF will be going to the Galapagos Islands to study tortoises. She's holding one of the tracking transmitters that will be attached to the animals during the study. The little turtle in the tank at left named Angie is a pet of another student. It's a diamondback terrapin which is native to the eastern and southern United States. David Lassman / The Post-Standard
A SUNY ESF Police FPIS parked at the station. This unit will temporarily fill in until a new vehicle can be delivered and wears a somewhat more simplified design.
Balloons decorate the entrance to the Gateway Center, making campus festive and showing new arrivals where to go.
I found a few photos of the Abe Lincoln on a horse sculpture while rooting around in my photo archives.
This version of Anna Hyatt Huntington Equestrian Lincoln (Lincoln the Itinerant Lawyer) is on the campus of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, which is adjacent to Syracuse University. Huntington, and her husband Archer, donated 15,000 acres of Adirondack forest to the school.
Ph.D. student and graduate, Amanda Cheeseman, M.S. (left), and a colleague gather information on an eastern cottontail before safely releasing it into the wild. Cheeseman is currently studying the ecology of the declining New England cottontail, and its responses to the introduced eastern cottontail at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF).
“I chose to work with New England cottontails because I have a passion for conservation and research of lesser known species of conservation interest. It has been a wonderful experience to study these animals, documenting unrecorded aspects of New England cottontail behavior and biology," says Cheeseman.
Cheeseman adds that during this project, her passion for the New England Cottontail has grown. "It is immensely rewarding to follow these rabbits as they grow and overcome the natural challenges of Northeastern seasons, to observe their individual differences, and watch the population boom as young rabbits are born in spring. I hope our research efforts will better inform managers as to the impacts of invasive vegetation and non-native eastern cottontails on NEC survival, reproduction, and habitat use, so future habitat management can be maximally effective for this species.”

Looking at weir 3 and the channel that took the general line of a historic stream that once passed through the site. The stream was diverted for other uses leaving the Willow Patch a low wet area perfect for the cultivation of basket willow - a late 19th century use of the site which we hope to revive.
Oakie the Acorn was on the job today, greeting new students and their families as they arrived to move in to Centennial Hall.
Apron 2 before placement of the splash slab which prevents low flow from undermining the subbase. The forebay contains what is called the first flush, or the first inch or so of rainfall that has been shown to contain the most sediment, salt and pollutants.
The forebay is functioning well, it is supporting growth of plants, frogs, and is slowly filling up with sediment. This sediment will be tested to determine exactly what is being kept out of the rated trout stream, The Chittenango Creek.

The weirs are the control points between the basins where the flow of stormwater passes from one area to the next. The weirs begin well below grade to prevent their undermining by the sometimes heavy storm flows.
The Willow Patch is a community place, and the community helped build it. These Cazenovia High School students helped plant rows of willow. The willow plants (salix purpurea) were coppiced (cut) from existing site shrubs and planted in rows perpendicular to the flow of stormwater. Willow is known to be a very thirsty plant that absorbs chemicals from the stormwater. The vigorous root zone of the plant also creates an environment where microbes are able to break down other chemicals that are attached to the sediments carried by stormwater.
The slabs of concrete were moved by a large excavator (thanks to Aztek Construction) using straps and chains.
In summer, cottontails eat grasses, rushes, sedges, clovers, and the shoots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds of many different plants. Among their favorites are goldenrod, plantain, chickweed, sheep sorrel, buttercup, smartweed, wild strawberry, cinquefoil, and violet. Video courtesy of Amanda Cheeseman.
