Educational Study Plan
Adirondack Ecological Center

All educational and professional groups using the resources and/or facilities of the Huntington Wildlife Forest (HWF) must have an approved educational study plan. We require the intended educational outcomes of your visit be described, a detailed agenda of the program be developed, and a method for post evaluation of the program be incorporated into the visit. An educational study plan must be submitted for each group and occasion of use. Overnight use of the HWF will also require an accommodation reservation - contact Kathy Poulton at (518) 582-4551 ext 101.

Additional fees may be required. This is dependent on the type, duration, and content of the program requested.
