Svend O. Heiberg Memorial Forest

Svend O. Heiberg Memorial Forest is a 3,800-acre (1,500-hectare) research forest located in parts of Onondaga and Cortland counties, and within the towns of Truxton, Preble, Fabius, and Tully in New York State.

Originally Tully Experimental Forest, the forest was renamed in 1965 after Svend O. Heiberg, former Associate Dean of Graduate Studies at the New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University (now SUNY-ESF), in Syracuse, New York.

The forest today consists of 3,800 acres (5.9 sq mi; 15 km2) utilized as a research forest as part of SUNY-ESF's regional campus and includes classrooms, research buildings and other facilities.

Over 12 miles (19 km) of trails provide recreation opportunities,[2] including the Heiberg Memorial Forest Trail, a 1.9-mile-long (3.1 km) loop that permits hiking and cross-country skiing.

Both ponds are accessible via an approximately 0.75-mile-long (1.2 km) trail from a parking area on Maple Ridge Road.
