Transcription

Location

The Ranger School is situated in the northwestern part of the Adirondack Park, on the east branch of the scenic Oswegatchie River, which flows into Cranberry Lake. The campus is about 65 miles (105 km) from Watertown, New York, and 35 miles (56 km) from Tupper Lake.

History

The New York State Ranger School was founded in 1912, under the administration of the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University, to train forest rangers and other personnel for the still-young Adirondack Park.[3] Eugene S. Whitmore, the Ranger School's first graduate, completed his studies the same year that school was founded, in 1912.[4] More than 3000 students have completed their degrees at the Ranger School since it opened.[5] The Ranger School celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2012-13.[6]

Leadership

  • Professor James F. Dubuar served as Director of the Ranger School for 37 years, from 1921-1957.[7]

Properties

  • Shortly before its establishment, the school received a gift of 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) from the Rich Brothers Lumber Company.[8]
  • In 1923, Governor Alfred E. Smith, later to become President of the Board of Trustees of the New York State College of Forestry, signed an appropriation bill for the construction of the Ranger School's new building; the structure was dedicated in 1928.
  • The International Paper Company added to the school's properties with a gift of 500 acres (2.0 km2), in 1929.[8]

Today

Today the Ranger School is a unit of SUNY-ESF. Mariann Johnston, Professor of Forest and Natural Resources Management, is director.[9]

After "spending a year at a college of their choice,"[5] students spend an academic year or summer at the residential school, studying forest technology, land surveying technology, or environmental and natural resources conservation, earning an Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree upon completion. Students can continue their studies at the main ESF campus, in Syracuse, to earn a bachelor's degree.[5]

In addition to classrooms, offices, dormitory and kitchen facilities, the school's properties also include the 3,000-acre (12 km2), James F. Dubuar Memorial Forest.[5]
