This report is a summary for the ESF college administration of the FNRM teaching, research, and outreach and service activities during the 2010-2011 academic year. The accomplishments within
FNRM over the last year detailed here were made possible through the individual and collective efforts of faculty and staff members at the Syracuse and Wanakena campuses.
Over the past year, the department sustained a substantial reduction in personnel. A total of four faculty members and three staff members retired in the Fall. Professors Larry Abrahamson, Chad
Dawson, and Allan Drew on the Syracuse campus and Associate Professor Wayne Allen from the
Wanakena campus took advantage of the state buy-out to retire in December. All were named
Emeritus following their retirement and all, other than Dr. Drew who sadly died in February, have remained active with our programs. We are in the process of replacing Mr. Allen, but no other replacements have been approved. Staff members Tari Pittenger and Roger Nissen on the Syracuse campus and Kathie Nevil on the Wanakena campus also retired in the fall. Ms. Debbie Sovocool replaced Ms. Pittenger and Ms. June McWarf replaced Ms. Nevil. A listing of our current faculty is found in Appendix A.
The only new addition to our faculty was Dr. Philippe Vidon, Associate Professor of hydrology and biogeochemistry. Dr. Vidon joined the department during the summer of 2010 and has been an outstanding addition to our water program. Several new adjunct faculty members were added to the
Department to help cover teaching needs.
The following faculty members going up for promotion, tenure, or reappointment were successful this year. Drs. Bob Malmsheimer and John Wagner were promoted to Professor, and Mr. Nasri
Abdel-Aziz and Mr. Mike Webb were granted tenure at the Instructor level, and Dr. Mariann
Garrison-Johnston received continuing appointment at the Assistant Professor level.
Several of our faculty received major awards or recognition:
• Dr. Bob Malmsheimer received the 2011 SUNY ESF College Foundation Award for
Exceptional Achievement in Teaching
•
Mr. Jamie Savage was named Forester of the Year for 2010 by the New York Society of
American Foresters
• Dr. Ruth Yanai received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and
Creative Activities
•
Dr. Mariann Johnston is the Chair-Elect for the New York Society of American Foresters
4

Several members of the Department’s faculty initiated new or expanded responsibilities for the
College over the past year:
• Mr. Abdel-Aziz was named Director of Math Programs for the General Education Program
• Dr. Briggs continued as director of the Division of Environmental Sciences
• Dr. Yanai was named director of the Graduate Program in Environmental Sciences.
• Dr. Luzadis continued as Assistant Provost for Assessment and Academic Initiative and became the Interim Chair for the Department of Environmental Studies. As such, Dr. Luzadis did not function as a faculty member in the Department this past year and will serve instead as a member of the Department of Environmental Studies for at least the next two years.
The College approved several new majors for the Department. This coming year, a new program in
Environmental and Natural Resource Conservation will have its inaugural class of about 17 students at the Ranger School. Two new majors were approved on the Syracuse campus: an undergraduate degree in Sustainable Energy Management and a graduate MPS degree in Sustainable Resource
Management. Both of these majors will start admitting students in 2012 or 2013. Finally, new or modified minors were approved in Applied Statistics and Water Resources.
As shown in Appendix B, the departmental faculty numbers continued to decline this past year and the consequences on our productivity is becoming more apparent. At the time of our last SAF accreditation in 2002, the department had 28 teaching or research faculty members listed in the accreditation report. Since that time, 13 teaching faculty either retired, resigned, were reassigned, or died and we have replaced only 4 of them. A fifth faculty member, Dr. Tim Volk, was added to the faculty in a permanent research position (he was actually a research scientist in the department at the time of the accreditation but did not have a permanent position) leaving a faculty of 20. Thus, we will have suffered a net loss nine teaching faculty positions in only 8 years and have only a single remaining assistant professor on the staff (as compared to 7 in 2002). As this report shows, while our teaching productivity remains high, our research and graduate student numbers started showing some decline. We have taken positive and active steps to rectify this decline, but we are becoming extremely limited in our ability to respond to new initiatives without additional support.

The teaching load for FNRM faculty members varies greatly depending on the number of courses assigned (e.g., Research Associates and temporary visiting Instructors typically have low teaching loads while Instructors have high teaching loads) and course enrollment. Appendix C shows the total teaching responsibilities for each faculty member as provided by ESF College records. Table
1 is based on this data and shows the total credit hour production by faculty classification from all components of the teaching program: classes, seminar and problem courses, and graduate/ undergraduate research supervision. Total credit hours are calculated by multiplying the number of students by the activity credit hours by the percentage responsibility. Table 2 shows this same information for individual faculty members.

Based on ESF College records, the Syracuse FNRM faculty produced from 54 credit hours to 1,221 credit hours per instructor of record and overall generated a total of 10,947 credit hours (up 8.4% from 10,062 credit hours in the previous year). Non-line faculty members (those who are either instructors, visiting faculty, adjunct professors, or retired faculty) were responsible for almost 45% of all the credit hours produced in the department. Instructors, who are primarily responsible for
GED courses, produced about 40% (down 2% from last year) of the total credit hours, while 25%
(27% last year) were produced by Associate Professors and 25% (20% last year) by Professors. The reason for the relative decrease in Associate Professor production was a decline in their numbers from 6 to 5 and the fact that relatively high credit hour producers were promoted. Because we will have even fewer Associate Professors next year, it is expected that the share of credit hour production by these faculty members will continue to decline next year.

Based on ESF College records and shown in Table 3, the production of the FNRM faculty at the
Wanakena campus varied from 70 credit hours to 491 credit hours per instructor of record (not including visiting faculty) and overall generated a total of 1,954 credit hours (down slightly from
2,050 in the previous year). This distribution of credit hours reflects the extensive team teaching that occurs in all courses at the Ranger School over the course of a year and the retirement of Mr.
Allen. The Summer “Bridge” program, consisting of intensive biology and trigonometry courses, was again offered during the summer to allow students missing prerequisites for the AAS degree to make up the courses prior to entry into the School. A total of 9 students took advantage of this opportunity (down from 15 last year).

The number of graduate students advised by each faculty member as major professor fluctuates throughout the year as students arrive, leave, or graduate. A total of 66 students began the year in the program. Even with a number of graduations in the fall, our numbers stayed steady at 66 in the
Spring. The distribution of males and females in the program is relatively even. Tables 4a and 4b show the graduate advising by degree objective for Fall and Spring semester by faculty member.

The number of undergraduate students advised by each faculty member also fluctuates throughout the year as students arrive, leave, change programs, or graduate. Advising assignments are made by the Undergraduate Program Coordinator upon the matriculation of students in the Fall and Spring.
Care is made to distribute students by relevant program area and to keep the numbers relatively evenly distributed across faculty. Tables 5a and 5b show the undergraduate advising by class for
Fall and Spring semester by faculty member. It should be noted that Dr. Briggs, as Director of the
Division of Environmental Sciences, and several other faculty members including Drs. Stella and
Vidon, have substantial undergraduate advising responsibilities not included here.

All courses taught by faculty in the Department with more than 5 enrolled students receive student course evaluations. Our faculty maintains a history of, and strong dedication to, high quality teaching. Faculty members give most lectures, and most take an active lead in carrying out field labs. This dedication to teaching is reflected in generally high overall course evaluations. Because of the abysmal response rates from our switch to an online evaluation system, the evaluations must be viewed with some skepticism. That being said, the unweighted average across all courses, out of a possible score of 5.0, was 4.31 (4.45 last year with written evaluations) in the Fall and 4.35 (4.10 last year with online evaluations) in the Spring.
In general, the course evaluations were consistent with previous years with the general education
APM courses having somewhat lower scores than courses in the undergraduate major. The average for APM courses was 4.19 (median 4.35) in the Fall and 4.12 (4.25 median) in the Spring as opposed to 4.49 (4.50 median) and 4.00 (4.15 median) for the other undergraduate courses taught in the department. Graduate courses generally have higher evaluations with 4.60 (4.70 median) in the
Fall and 4.17 (4.35 median) in the Spring. Nevertheless, there is remarkable consistency and appreciation by students for the high quality of teaching effort received. Tables 6a and 6b show the course evaluations for courses taught at the Syracuse campus (Course evaluations for all courses is shown in Appendix D).

• The significant changes that were approved last year for the programs on the Wanakena campus have been a success. The new major, Environmental and Natural Resource
Conservation (ENRC) has shown phenomenal potential. At the time of this report, 17 students are registered for the new program. This is an excellent response, given that we were unable to advertise the program very strongly and there is no track record. What is particularly encouraging is that there has been no reduction in enrollment in the other majors.
•
The Wanakena campus went through two accreditation reviews this past year. In the Fall, the AAS degree Land Surveying Technology was reviewed for ABET accreditation. The evaluation report was very positive and we expect to receive the final results this summer.
In the Spring, the AAS in Forest Technology was reviewed for SAF accreditation. Once again, the evaluation report was very positive and we expect to receive the final results in
November.
• A new major in Sustainable Energy Management (SEM) was approved by the COI and has been sent to Albany.
• A new graduate MPS program in Environmental Resource Management was approved by the COI and has been sent to Albany.
•
The Forest Ecosystem Science major went through internal review and evaluation. The
Department approved relatively minor changes to this program. This coming year, we will do a similar internal review of the Natural Resources Management major.
•
A new minor was approved by the COI in Applied Statistics and the Water Resources minor was significantly modified.

FNRM faculty authored or co-authored 45 (49 last year) individual published articles in refereed journals or edited volumes; another 29 manuscripts are in press and 34 manuscripts were submitted and are under review. Another 26 manuscripts were published as research reports and in conference proceedings (see full list of publications and presentations in Appendix E). FNRM faculty members were very productive in non-journal publications and as presenters at professional science conferences and meetings. Some faculty members do not have research publication assignments or do not currently have publications and presentations listed, but are expected to have them now and in the future. Based on the individual annual reports of faculty a summary of publications and presentations (numbers by faculty and type) is presented in Table 7 (the total numbers do not correspond to the totals listed above because a number of publications have multiple FNRM authors). Table 7a shows the journals in which FNRM faculty members publish.

As shown in Table 8, based on the ESF Research Office records, FNRM faculty operated with 68.4
(down from 75.3) funded research projects during the 12-month period ending on April 30, 2011.
The awards amounted to $2.53 (down from $2.95 million last year). Some faculty members do not have research assignments or did not have operating research projects during the 12-month period.

Finally, Table 10 shows the sources of funding for research activities carried out by the Department.
The largest single source of funding, by far, is the New York Department of Environmental
Conservation, contributing over 1/3 of the funding in the Department. Other major sources of funding are the USDA Forest Service, the US Department of Energy, and the US Endowment for
Forestry and Communities.
Overall, the Department is the second most active in the College in terms of total productivity, producing 18% of the total number of research projects and 20% of the total amount of expenditures. The decreases in funding that the Department showed this past year was pretty much mirrored by the rest of the College.

A well-regarded measure of research impact is the number of times that works of a researcher are cited by other researchers. Ms. Linda Galloway of the library performed a Scopus Science Citation index search of members of the FNRM faculty and the results are shown in Table 11. Since we are running on a 10-year basis, to allow for comparisons over time, it should be realized that these numbers will likely change. The number of citations in 2010 was 34% higher than in 2009 and 30% higher for the comparable 10-year period. The average h-index for the faculty as a whole increased somewhat, even though several new faculty members were added to this list with correspondingly lower values.
.
In fact, most faculty members saw their h-index increase, while 8 had no change.

Faculty delivered an extensive number of presentations, workshops and conferences to a wide range of client types in the state and region. These programs targeted forest and natural resource-based clients and continue to be well received and well attended. Examples of programs and workshops include professional forestry state and national conferences and workshops, recreation and silviculture workshops, GIS conferences, national tourism conference, watershed management workshops, and vegetation management workshops and conferences. Individual faculty reports did not completely enumerate their outreach and extension-type activities so a full listing has not been developed herein.
Faculty spent a significant amount of time and energy providing unfunded service to local, county and state governmental agencies, public interest groups, and others. In particular, RS faculty efforts with community and economic renewal in southern St. Lawrence County and northern NY were notable.

Undergraduate student enrollment in the Syracuse program in the Fall of 2010 was the highest it has been in many years with 117. This is in part due to a great degree of ongoing recruitment effort, but also to the increasing success of our 1-1-2 program. This past Fall, enrollment in the FRM/NRM majors stood at 117, which is the record high enrollment for these two majors. Nevertheless, the
Forest Ecosystem Science major’s enrollment again increased to 13 students. Enrollment in this year’s Summer Program at Wanakena was down somewhat from last year with 25 students attending. Enrollment at the Wanakena campus stayed steady from the previous year, but the early indications are that the new ENRC major will lead to a substantial increase in the Wanakena
Campus enrollment. Figure 1 shows the enrollment trends at both the Syracuse and Wanakena campuses since 1996.

The breakdown of undergraduate students enrolled at both campuses is shown in Table 13a. The
NRM major is no longer broken out by program area since the new curriculum, implemented in
2008 has done away with program areas. The decline in students in the sophomore year at the
Syracuse campus is a direct result of the continued popularity of the 1-1-2 option in providing learning opportunities for our forestry and NRM students. This program is part of the reason why the NRM major has more students than the FRM major. The land surveying program at the Ranger
School showed some decline from last year, representing 17% of the student body.

The gender breakdown for the two programs (Table 13b) exhibits the continued imbalance of the program between male and female students. This imbalance is most strongly felt in the forestry program where only 12% of the students are female (down from 14% last year). The breakdown is somewhat better in the NRM program where 24% of the students are female (down from 30%).
Overall, 19% of the students at the Syracuse and 13% of the students at the Wanakena campus are female. This imbalance is a continuing problem for forestry programs across the country and is a serious issue when we consider the fact that university student bodies are now composed of a higher percentage of female than male students. On a brighter note, early indications are that the ENRC program at the Wanakena campus will attract more female students (currently 25% of the registered students are female).

Finally, Table 13c shows the registration breakdown in the department. While the percentage of transfer students to the Syracuse program is down from historical levels, they do represent almost
22% of the student body. An important continuing development over the past few years has been the growth of the 1-1-2 degree option, where students spend 1 year either at ESF or at a community college, 1 year at the Ranger School to obtain their AAS degree, and then come down to the
Syracuse campus to obtain a BS. There were seven students last year that went from the Syracuse campus to Wanakena, while 20 came down to the Syracuse campus from the Ranger School.

Graduate student enrollment numbers were down from last year, declining from 74 to 66. The
FNRM graduate students enrolled in Fall 2010 were: 23 Ph.D. students, 26 MS degree students, 13
MPS degree students, and 4 MF degree students. The trend line in graduate enrollment has been down for FNRM since 2001 and we are nearing the trough that we experienced in 2006. We have expended significant effort in trying to attract students into the program, but we are hampered by relatively low assistantship levels (compared to other comparable institutions), a lack of research assistantships, and the continuing decline in the number of faculty members taking on new students.
With last year’s retirements and duty changes, it will be difficult for the department to approach the graduate student numbers that we maintained at the beginning of the decade.

The breakdown of students by degree and program area is shown in Table 14a. These show the ecosystem science and natural resources areas to have the largest numbers. The other areas are taking on graduate students commensurate with their faculty numbers. Appendix G lists all the graduating students, as well as theses and dissertations approved this past year.

The gender breakdown is much more even than was shown for the undergraduate program (Table
14b). Nearly half of all graduate students are female, with a majority of MPS students being female while a majority of MF, MS, and Ph.D. students are male. We had 12 entering graduate student in the Fall, representing 18% of the graduate student body.

Funding for graduate students remains a challenge. Graduate support in FNRM is mainly through state supported Graduate Assistantships, individual Research Assistantships, some college fellowships, or a few national or international organization fellowships. Table 15a (supplied by the
Graduate Affairs office) shows that as graduate student numbers have declined, so too has funding.
In 2010, 60% of full-time graduate students are funded (down from 83% in 2008). In part, this is due to the increase in MPS and MF enrollment since these students do not receive assistantship funding.

The quantity and size of scholarships and awards for both FNRM undergraduate and graduate students is relatively small and used both for recruiting new students and to award outstanding effort. Both the Syracuse and Wanakena campuses have their own endowments that are used to fund these awards (Tables 16a and 16b). Some awards are also designated for graduate students.
The largest scholarship in the Department is the Farnsworth Fellowship, which is presented as part of a major program to honor Dr. Farnsworth. This year, the invited speaker was Emeritus Professor
Hugh Canham.
This past year, even with the financial difficulties facing our endowment, we were able to give out about the same amount of funds in the Syracuse and Wanakena programs as last year. No new scholarships were created but we have been able to manage our funds in such a way as to maintain solid funding for our students.

recording of the minutes of all meetings of the faculty and distributing the minutes to the faculty members within ten days of the meeting
2.
maintaining a permanent file of all actions of the faculty and a current official version of these bylaws in the FNRM main office
3.
conducting all mail ballots of the faculty and reporting the results thereof to the faculty
31

The main source of funds to operate the department are the Instructional accounts with Other than
Personal Services (OTPS) and Temporary Services (TS) funds distributed by the college to FNRM and shared by the Syracuse and Wanakena Campuses. The FNRM operating funds available to the
Syracuse campus from the college included $37,000 for OTPS and $10,000 for TS, the same as was received last year. Overall, because of the difficult financial situation of the College and at the request of the VP for Finance, we spent only $41,250 of the state funds allocated to the Department.
We were able to make up these funds with Research Incentive accounts that we have built up over the past few years. The variety of expenses made by the Department over the past year is shown in

For each of our 3 majors, a set of 9 core learning objectives have been identified and represent the core beliefs of our faculty with respect to student learning and development. While there are some specific differences, the general objectives are as follows:
Learning Objectives
1. Understand Forests (for FES and FRM) or Natural Environments (for NRM)
2. Measure Forests (for FES and FRM) or Natural Resources (for NRM)
3. Manipulate Forests (for FES and FRM) or Natural Resources (for NRM)
4. Manage Forests (for FES and FRM) or Natural Resources (for NRM)
5. Analyze Policies
6. Communicate
7. Demonstrate Ethical Behaviors
8. Solve Problems
9. Lead
The FNRM Department has long been aware of the need to assess the effectiveness of our curriculum in meeting the needs of our students and meeting the objectives that we have laid out for each of our majors. For that reason, two years ago, we instituted a review process by which we examine each of our majors on a 3-year revolving basis. In 2007-2008, an ad hoc committee, chaired by Bob Malmsheimer, reviewed the Natural Resources Management major. This effort led to a major restructuring of the major in which we dropped the 3 areas of emphasis (Watershed
Hydrology, Recreation, and Natural Resource Management), broadened the required courses in the program (including attendance at the summer program), and increased the number of free electives.
With these changes, we felt that students would be able to broaden their expertise to better meet the objectives of the major, deepen their specific knowledge by being able to incorporate minors into their program of study, and have an easier time transferring into the program. The increase in NRM students this coming year is an indication of the success of this strategy.
In 2008-2009, an ad hoc committee, chaired by René Germain, reviewed the Forest Resource
Management program. This assessment was done in the context of our initial attempts of defining a formal assessment process that is only now being implemented. The committee did a significant modification of the major, changing some of the pre-professional requirements, adding some new professional requirements, and increasing the number of free electives. Again, with these changes we feel that students would be able to deepen their expertise to better meet the objectives of the major, deepen their specific knowledge by being able to incorporate minors into their program of study, and have an easier time transferring into the program.
This past year, we did a major evaluation of the Forest Technology and Land Surveying degrees at the Wanakena Campus as well as the overall structure of the program there. There were a number of outcomes from this exercise, the most important being the creation of a new major in
Environmental and Natural Resource Conservation (set to begin in Fall 2011). However, there were also a number of changes to existing courses and the reduction in required credit hours in the Fall.
Very little formal data collection took place as part of the assessment of our programs in the past.
The new assessment program that we instituted this year will change that. One of our primary means for evaluating the success of the program is through the evaluation of capstone projects for
33

our two large majors. This course, FOR 490, was split for the first time last year into FRM and
NRM courses. Table 18 shows student responses to a series of questions based on our program’s objectives since 2006 (the survey was not given in 2008). In general, the students feel reasonably confident in the skills that they have developed, except for their statistical abilities, growth and yield projection skills, finance abilities, and their knowledge of policy.
As a graduating senior, I feel confident in my abilities to:
1. Communicate relationships between flora and fauna in a forest setting.

We utilized an informal evaluation this spring to get a quick assessment of the effectiveness of our programs. The technique used was to perform an SII (Strengths, Areas of Improvement, Insights) analysis of the learning outcomes for our students in our capstone course, FOR 490. The two instructors for the course, Dr. Nowak for the NRM section and Dr. Germain for the FRM section, performed the analyses. The results of this analysis were as follows:
34

For the NRM students, the following results were found (relative to the degree objectives):
•
Stengths : Students have ability to plan, conduct and analyze natural areas inventories (2c-
Measuring), Good communication skills (6), Good problem solving skills (8);
• Areas of Improvement : Identification of major species of flora in an area (2a-Measuring),
Knowledge of / implementation capacity for alternative ways to manage natural resources (3a-
Manipulating; 4c-Managing), Understanding of contemporary management issues – biodiversity, non-native invasives, hazard/danger trees, Ability to do library research and correct citation of literature;
•
Insights : Reliance of students on the web as a primary source of information. Our program works – students are ready to enter society as professional natural resource managers
For the FRM section of the course, the following SII were obtained:
•
Strengths : Writing, Map making skills, generally capable of pulling together a nice plan, Forest inventory planning skills, Good public presentation skills, Ability to respond to questions without getting defensive, Ability to think on their feet in the field;
• Areas of Improvement : • Knowledge of herbaceous plants and shrubs, Not equipped to address wildlife management, Timber volumes and quality (come with experience), Maintain professional demeanor in field – avoid getting too informal
•
Insights : • Students need more practice interpreting field situations, Need to reinforce plant and shrub ID, Gap in wildlife management knowledge, Generally, students are in a good position to learn and grow as foresters
As stated above, we have only begun the process of formally collecting data to assess student outcomes. This coming year, we will be implementing the plan that we submitted to the provost and will have clearer indications of the effectiveness of our programs.

• Initiate a strategic planning process for the Department. One of the major outcomes of the recent 3-year review of the Chair was the desire to think more strategically about the
Department’s place in the college. With the recent and upcoming retirements, there is urgent need to make clear what opportunities we will be able to pursue, and what we will not. Teaching loads are currently unbalanced and there will likely be need for readjustment of responsibilities over the coming years. The faculty has shown remarkable resilience and willingness to adapt to changing situations but there are limits to what we can accomplish with declining resources. (Accomplished. Committee met all spring. Preliminary results expected in early fall)
• Develop new display materials and recruiting material for use at conferences. (In process)
• Assessment of the Surveying degree program at the RS toward documenting the ABET accreditation process (ESF Goal 1).
