The Adirondack Watershed Institute

The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) is a component of Paul Smith's College that conducts work broadly focused on conserving and protecting natural resources in the Adirondack region. We offer a range of services to the public, including invasive species management, water quality monitoring, recreational use studies, ecological studies, educational programs and publications. Through our work, we also provide large numbers of real jobs and research experiences to undergraduate students.
