If home is in NY and a short flight is ok, check Eckerd in St Pete. One thing to look at tho is what type of focus area does she want ? It can be a wide major.
But the ESF and UVM are wonderful suggestions. There’ll be many great schools in the NE.
If you google niche dot com and environmental science you’ll see a rank. Looks like you need to go down to page 4 or 5 to see easier schools to get into (and cheaper) but you can start looking at schools. But I’d focus on the area she interested in within the discipline too.
Plus size of school etc.
Edit : did a search of wildlife conservation……WVU. UTK. UK. VA tech. Penn State. Delaware comes up on all lists. . All are reasonably close.
If water is an interest look at coastal Carolina.
