Plattsburgh is an ideal location for ecologists interested in a variety of
topics in the Adirondack Park, and surrounding region. The campus is situated
on Lake Champlain and is a gateway to the six-million acre Adirondack Park -
the largest state-protected area in the contiguous United States. It is an hour
drive to Montreal, QC and Burlington, VT. Several government agencies such as
the New York State Adirondack Park Agency and Department of Environmental
Conservation; non-governmental organizations including the Lake Champlain Basin
Program; and local natural resource dependent industries related to timber and
recreation interact to create a unique and vibrant context for collaborative
research and education in the ecological and environmental sciences. There is
potential to collaborate with the Lake Champlain Research Institute and W.H.
Miner Agricultural Institute, as well as participate in graduate programs. </span></p>
