About the Ecology Woods Fund
Ecology Woods is a 35-acre forest on the southern edge of 91原创鈥檚 Newark Farm, adjacent to Route 4 and the 91原创 Athletics Complex. This location has been a unique site for ecological research, conservation, and student learning since the 1960s.
This living laboratory has provided invaluable opportunities for students and faculty, as well as some of our community, to study species and ecosystems in a mature forest within a suburban landscape.
It was Dr. Roland Roth, a faculty member in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology, who protected and nurtured this space for nearly 35 years, safeguarding it from threats and engaging generations of students in meaningful, hands-on ecological study. His work with long-term projects, like his pioneering studies of Wood Thrush and box turtles, stands as a testament to the power of dedication and the impact of immersive, field-based learning.
Without Dr. Roth鈥檚 tireless commitment, the Ecology Woods would not exist today as the rich, biodiverse forest that it is.
His legacy has left an indelible mark on the University and the conservation community, inspiring countless of folks. , featuring his daughter, Karen, gives a glimpse of this work.
In a few short months the Wood Thrush will return to our region and the Ecology Woods. Many who knew him think of Dr. Roth whenever a Wood Thrush sings.
Your investment will help preserve Dr. Roth鈥檚 work and ensure that future generations of students can benefit from the transformative learning experiences he made possible.聽

The Blue Hens toured sheep farms, hiked glaciers, and became lifelong friends. After the course, Erika (Feierstein) Mathews, Erin Curry, Tiffany Carro and Jennifer (Cascarino) Reith developed a serious case of wanderlust. The friends decided to travel regularly, and 23 years later, they are still exploring the world together.
