The American Chestnut Research and Restoration Center at SUNY-ESF
The mission of the American Chestnut Research and Restoration Center is to conduct basic and applied research that will lead to the development of a blight-resistant American chestnut tree (Castanea dentata). The concepts, techniques, and gene cassettes developed are also being applied to the restoration of the American elm (Ulmus americana) and will be broadly applicable to managing other forest tree diseases.

The Willow Biomass Program at SUNY-ESF
Willow biomass is an environmentally sound, locally produced, renewable source of energy and bioproducts. Driven by concerns about global warming, air pollution, rural development and national security, research conduced by SUNY-ESF has reconnected the historic willow cultivation industry to central New York. For more than two decades SUNY-ESF has teamed up with over 20 organizations to facilitate the commercialization of willow crops and other woody biomass for bioenergy and bioproducts in North America.
