| 7th Annual East Coast Lumberjack Round-Up | March 24th 9am-4pm |
The 7th Annual East Coast Lumberjack Roundup was held by the ESF Woodsmen’s team on March 24th at the willow biomass research center in Tully, NY. Twenty four teams attended the meet and competed in a series of events throughout the day. The ESF woodsmen provided four and a half teams; the half team was composed of three ESF students and three UCONN students. The teams were; ESF men 1, ESF men 2, ESF women 1 and a Jack and Jill team. ESF took first place overall for both the men’s and women’s category, and took second for the Jack and Jill category. Men’s 1 took first place in vertical chop, horizontal chop, team log roll, team pulp toss and team bow saw, giving them the points they needed to win first place. Men’s 2 cut down the competition in cookie stack, stock saw, and splitting with first place wins in those events. If you are keeping track that is 8 out of 15 events won by an ESF men’s team. The women’s 1 team pulled ahead of FLCC by 75 points, taking first place. Their strongest events, where they took first place finishes, were single buck, hard hit, fire build, vertical chop, horizontal chop, team log roll and team crosscut. After regaining their strength as a team, Jack and Jill held their own and came second only to Paul Smith’s. Stock saw, cookie stack, hard hit, cross cut to hell, and team pulp toss gave the J&J team a leg up to second place. Despite the fact that the ESF/UCONN team had never practiced together, they still managed to keep up with the competition and met some new people along the way. |

Who are the Woodsmen?
Created in 1912, the Woodsmen Team is the oldest student organization at the College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, NY. The tradition of the team originates from old-time logging techniques, which are today practiced as a sport. We compete against other colleges six to eight times per year, traveling across the Northeast and Canada. Events include: horizontal chop, axe throw, pole climb, and cross-cut as well as many more.

The ESF Woodsmen are also active in community service efforts, mainly demonstrations, in the Syracuse area. Each year the team hosts the Annual East Coast Lumberjack Round-Up, attracting many teams from the Northeastern United States and Canada.
If you’re interested in joining the team, or just want to see what we do for yourself, practices are Mondays and Thursdays from 7-9pm at the Lafayette Road Experiment Station. Carpooling is available and encouraged, meet at the base of Lawrinson stairs (where the field trips depart) or at Goldstein Student Center on South Campus at 6:45pm for a ride!
