Partnered with the Finger Lakes Trail, East Hill, which received its land via donations from conservationist George Fraley and the Finger Lakes Land Trust, ensures permanent access through an easement to the High Tor Wildlife Management area in Naples.

Students can hike from East Hill to thousands of acres of state land, where they'll learn about natural history, geology, and wildlife management in the Finger Lakes. It's possible one can hike from this campus all the way to the Appalachian Trail!
