Jude Zicot of Saugerties, NY was a Forester who was fatally wounded in November 2007 while conducting a timber stand improvement thinning in Delaware County. Jude leaves behind a wife, Jen, and three young children. Through the efforts of a friend and colleague, the New York Society of American Foresters established a memorial fund to assist the family. Since the fund’s inception in 2008, generous contributions from the forestry community including Woodwise LLC, the Watershed Agricultural Council, New York Tree Farm and many others, have raised nearly $40,000 to support the Zicot family for years to come. You can honor Jude’s legacy by sending your check or money order to: Zicot Fund c/o Brian Bower 305 County Route 20 Cairo NY 12413 Please make check payable to “Zicot Fund”.
The fund was established by the Society of American Foresters in honor of Curtis H. Bauer (ESF '50) and Robert M. Sand (ESF '50) - two dedicated leaders and longtime friends who served the forestry profession and NYSAF for their entire careers. The fund will assist Forestry majors at ESF with their academic related expenses. Donations can be made by contacting the ESF Development Office at (315) 470-6683 or by visiting the ESF online giving portal at http://www.esf.edu/development.
