Over the past several years, the staff at SUNY ESF’s Newcomb Campus have been dedicated to creating a new exhibit at the Adirondack Interpretive Center (AIC). This exhibit highlights the connection between SUNY ESF’s main campus and the AIC in Newcomb while showcasing ESF’s presence within the Adirondack Park, across New York State, and internationally.
The completion of this exhibit is the result of extensive collaboration and hard work by the Newcomb Campus staff, the communications department, and our exhibit designer, Bob MacNamara, (LA, ’73). To celebrate this achievement, we invite you to join us for a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Sunday, May 25th, at 11:00 AM at the AIC. Light lunch to follow.

We’re thrilled to announce the return of the Rubber Loon Dive for Summer 2025!
In past years, our loon competitors raced down the river, showing off their speed. But last year, we shook things up and put their diving skills to the test. After an exhilarating competition last fall, we’re excited to bring the Loon Dive back this July!
Join us for the fun and launch your loon into the lake (or we can do it for you!) and see if they can land in one of the top three floating rings. It's going to be a splash!
Visit https://www.esf.edu/aic/loons.php to sponsor a loon!

LOONS AND LOGS FUNDRAISER EVENT
The Annual Rubber Loon Race is going back to its origins with ‘Loons and Logs’ making a comeback! The Loons and Logs event originally celebrated the connection between humans and the natural history of the Adirondacks but, just like nature has evolved and changed so has this event. With the loss of the bridges on the Sucker Brook Trail due to the unprecedented flood on July 11th, 2023, which served as the start and finish lines, we have decided to change things up and test our loons' diving skills instead! We are excited to see which loon will be crowned the best diver! Like in years past, you can sponsor a loon for $10 for your chance to win the title of the first-ever Loon Diving Champion (and a prize, of course).
Since the event is all about Loons and logs, we thought it would be fun to embrace losing our bridges by challenging you to build a bridge made of logs - well, popsicle sticks, but still wood. For just a $10 entry fee, you can show off your design skills in the BYOB (Build Your Own Bridge) Competition. Construct the bridge that can hold the most weight and earn the title of Bridge of Brawn or go for aesthetics and compete for the title of Bridge of Beauty. One entry fee lets you compete in both divisions. The top competitors in each division will win a night at Huntington Lodge on the ESF Newcomb Campus.
To sponsor a loon competitor or to register for the bridge building competition visit esf.org/aic and click the links for each event.

The Rubber Loon Race held during the Loons and Logs event has been a staple fundraiser for the Adirondack Interpretive Center. This year, in keeping with our theme of Loons and Logs we have also decided to embrace the loss of bridges from the 2023 flooding event with a new fundraising competition inviting visitors to build a bridge made of logs (popsicle sticks) in our first ever Build Us Bridges! Competition. Two categories will be judged: Bridge of Brawn and Bridge of Beauty.
Each bridge category has 4 age divisions. Both the Loon Dive and the Build Us Bridges! events will help raise money critical to supporting free public educational programming here at the AIC.
Visit https://www.esf.edu/aic/build-bridges.php to register for the competition and for a list of the rules!

3rd Sunday of the Month May-October, 1pm

Come to Great Camp Santanoni for an immersive experience in the tradition of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, a Japanese wellness practice that helps individuals access the healing properties of nature. You will be invited to slow down, be curious, and use all your senses to more fully experience the nature and the heritage of the Santanoni Preserve. This mindfulness experience begins at the Gate Lodge with an orientation, warm-ups, centering, and breathing exercises intended to connect participants to their bodies and the world around them. We will then make our way to the Farm Complex, using our senses to become more attuned to our surroundings and taking time for an extended sit among the trees to deepen our connection to the land and nonhuman world. At the farm, we will shift our awareness to the landscape features that represent the more recent human story of the place. We will explore the site’s buildings and consider the continuity of both natural and human history in our present moment. Upon our return from the Farm Complex, we will reflect on the experience and understand how the practice of mindfulness can be used in daily life. Following the mindfulness session, participants are invited on an optional group bike ride into the Main Camp with a special tour of the Main Lodge and walk to the historic bathhouse and beach. All are welcome, with a special invitation for nonprofit leaders and staff to take time for renewal and a reset at Camp Santanoni this July.

This experience is led by Kripalu-certified Outdoor Mindfulness Guide and longtime preservation leader, Susan West Montgomery while the bike tour is led by AARCH Executive Director Erin Tobin. The mindfulness experience begins at 9 AM and ends at 12:30 PM, and the bike excursion ends at 3 PM.

There is a suggested donation of $40 per person and $35 for nonprofit staff and board members. Register at https://secure.qgiv.com/.../event/santanonimindfulness/

Please note that this outing includes roughly 2.5 miles of walking at a leisurely pace over a dirt road. The afternoon bike ride requires attendees to bring their own bicycles and cycle 9.6 miles (round trip) on a dirt road to and from the Main Camp. The road features a mix of flat, rolling, and uneven terrain.

You don’t have to be an “artist” to benefit from exploring new subjects with a combination of both words and pictures. This workshop will introduce participants to the joys of visual note-taking and together we will spend time researching a topic of choice and creating a single-page educational comic from what we learned.
No drawing experience necessary!
Materials needed: colored pencils, graphite pencils with erasers, printer paper (at least 2 sheets per participant), pens (just regular ballpoint pens are perfect).
