Wetlands Estonoa

During spring 1999, Appalachian Ecology student,    Stevie Sabo chose to investigate a forgotten lake, Lake Estonoa.  His project encompassed the lake’s history, present condition, and his desire to return it to its pristine self.  During the fall of 1999, Nikki Buffalow adopted  the project and identified the lake as a wetlands through the process of the Corps of Engineers.  Based upon these findings, Estonoa could not be returned to the pristine lake of the past.  Nikki’s quest to restore the newly named wetlands began to gain interest and soon became a project undertaken by the entire Appalachian Ecology and Physics class.  Our goal as a team is to enhance our little corner of the world.
