The mission of The Knothole publication is to provide its readers with writings that are both stimulating and contemporary; to inform its students of clubs, events, and off-campus happenings; to challenge a world driven by progress to uncover the truth about current environmental policies and innovations; and to express such ideas, ingeniously and collectively. We are not a newspaper. We are not a magazine. And we are not the Daily Orange. We are simply created by Stumpies, for Stumpies. We like it that way.

The Knothole is the State University of New York College of Environmental Science & Forestry’s exclusive bi-weekly student publication. The contents of the publication include recent and upcoming event coverage, interviews, editorials, opinion articles, political cartoons, artwork, poetry, club announcements, and much more. SUNY-ESF students are able to make submissions at The Knothole office in 12 Bray Hall (BraySpace) or by email at esfknothole@gmail.com before 8:00PM on Fridays the week before the next issue is published.
