Constructed adaptive forestry management plan for year 2100 climatic changes. Identified habitat and forest community composition for approximately 100 acres of University managed land. Then, applied USDA Forest Service predictive tree species distribution modeling for 2100 IPCC medium and high emission climate change projections. Compiled climate variability for the Northeast of the United States and life history information for best-fit trees. Outlined ecological threat from emerald ash borer pest pressure regionally and locally for future stands and potential tree candidates. Presented model's potential and best-fit trees to the head faculty of St. Lawrence University's Environmental Department.
