  • To Download Three Wonder Walks
    Three Wonder Walks (After the High Line) Featuring Walking Routes, Collections and Notes by Matthew Jensen Three Wonder Walks (After the High Line) The High Line has proven that you can create a des- tination around the act of walking. The park provides a museum-like setting where plants and flowers are intensely celebrated. Walking on the High Line is part of a memorable adventure for so many visitors to New York City. It is not, however, a place where you can wander: you can go forward and back, enter and exit, sit and stand (off to the side). Almost everything within view is carefully planned and immaculately cultivated. The only exception to that rule is in the Western Rail Yards section, or “W.R.Y.” for short, where two stretch- es of “original” green remain steadfast holdouts. It is here—along rusty tracks running over rotting wooden railroad ties, braced by white marble riprap—where a persistent growth of naturally occurring flora can be found. Wild cherry, various types of apple, tiny junipers, bittersweet, Queen Anne’s lace, goldenrod, mullein, Indian hemp, and dozens of wildflowers, grasses, and mosses have all made a home for them- selves. I believe they have squatters’ rights and should be allowed to stay. Their persistence created a green corridor out of an abandoned railway in the first place. I find the terrain intensely familiar and repre- sentative of the kinds of landscapes that can be found when wandering down footpaths that start where streets and sidewalks end. This guide presents three similarly wild landscapes at the beautiful fringes of New York City: places with big skies, ocean views, abun- dant nature, many footpaths, and colorful histories.

New York City Audubon, New York, NY. 2 Abstract New York City Audubon’s Harbor Herons Project Nesting Survey of the New York/New Jersey Harbor and surrounding waterways was conducted between 15 May and 26 June 2018. This report principally summarizes long-legged wading bird, cormorant, and gull nesting activity observed on selected harbor islands, and also includes surveys of selected mainland sites and aids to navigation. Seven species of long-legged wading birds were observed nesting on eight of fifteen islands surveyed, on Governors Island, and at several mainland sites, while one additional species was confirmed as nesting exclusively at a mainland site. Surveyed wading bird species, hereafter collectively referred to as waders, included (in order of decreasing abundance) Black-crowned Night-Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Glossy Ibis, Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, and Great Blue Heron.

  • City of New Rochelle, New York, As Seen from the Air in 1938
    CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig­ nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care­ fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ­ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle.
