History of Our Project
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.
