Welcome to ESF Magazine, the official magazine of the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry.

Lawn to Meadow

Lawns are a staple of the American landscape, currently covering more area in the lower 48 states than National Parks. However, they pose a significant threat to biodiversity, causing habitat loss and fragmentation for native species. Lawns also require extensive time and resources to maintain while supporting little to no ecological benefits. The ESF Restoration Science Center (RSC) is working to address these issues through the Lawn to Meadow Program, a component of the Conservation on Private Lands Initiative.

Dan Fisher and Lori Ruhlman purchased their house on East Lake Road in Skaneateles in 2017, just three months before the first documented harmful algal bloom on Skaneateles Lake.
