(Herkimer, Sauquoit, NY – June 2015) During the spring semester, the Herkimer College Science Club restored two historic markers in Sauquoit marking the birthplace of Dr. Asa Gray, a botanist and friend of Charles Darwin.
In addition to restoring the historic markers, the club also symbolically adopted a snowy owl at the Utica Zoo with funds won at various events throughout the academic year.
Pictured are the historic markers before and after the restoration work.
The Science Club is one of nearly 40 student clubs and organizations at Herkimer College. The Science Club is advised by Dr. Nicole McDaniels, assistant professor.
