The Ranger School
In 1912, some 2,800 acres of land in the Adirondack Mountains were donated to the College as a site for the development of a Ranger School. 
Since that time, the forest technology program has trained over 3,000 graduates, most of whom are now working in a variety of forest activities, and it has earned The Ranger School a national reputation for excellence. The program is administered by and is an integral part of the Department of Forest and Natural Resources Management. This unique model of a single professional faculty offering all levels of study from technical through postdoctoral emphasizes the teamwork approach to forest resource science and management espoused by the faculty.
The New Ranger School: Student Center and State-of-the-Art Classrooms
In May 2001, with funding from the State University of New York Construction Fund, the College of Environmental Science and Forestry embarked on a three-phase, $6 million renovation of The Ranger School.
Phase one of this project provided a new addition to the existing building that includes a 92 seat distance learning lecture hall, a 40 seat smart classroom and a 96 seat dining hall, kitchen and food service and conference room. Phases 2 and 3 involved renovation of the existing main building.
