Cornell Arnot Forest
Cornell Arnot Teaching and Research Forest: Embracing a conservation ethic through support of research and education that balances sustainable production and the maintenance of ecological function.
Don't Move Firewood!
Firewood Transport Rules were revised August 2012 to improve regulatory compliance and enforcement. The existence of this regulation helps prevent firewood infested with invasive insects such as emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle from being transported throughout the state, destroying trees from one place to another.
NY Master Forest Owners
The Master Forest Owner Program provides private forest owners of New York State with the information and encouragement necessary to manage their forest holdings wisely.
Over 140 experienced and highly motivated volunteer MFOs are available statewide, ready to assist neighbor woodland owners with the information needed to start managing their woodlands, through free site visits to landowners properties. All MFOs are graduates of a 4-day training program, where they learn about sawtimber and wildlife management, woodland economics, and ecology. The MFOs continue to receive information updates, attend refresher classes and maintain contact with natural resource managers from private, public, and academic organizations.
ForestConnect
Cornell's ForestConnect provides forest owners with educational resources to help them make decisions about the management of their property.
