  • Chapter 4. Conserving Natural Resources
    4.1 4 Conserving Natural Resources OVERVIEW Natural resources were integral to the historical and cultural development of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. Today, they serve as the foun- dation for the success of the region’s tourism, recreation, and quality of life for residents. While the focus of this Preservation and Management Plan is on the protection of historic and cultural resources, natural resources also form a com- pelling story that can be used to interpret many elements of the Corridor. Th e form and character of the land in the Corridor create a setting that is distinct from other regions in the country. Th e geology, soils, and landforms shaped the alignment and construction of the canals and provided the economic base for centuries of continuous settlement. Water resources weave through every portion of this landscape, including dramatic rivers, the marvel of the canals, a multitude of lakes, and underground aquifers. Within this climate, the vegeta- tion is varied, including hardwood forests, wetlands, bogs, sweeping agricul- tural fi elds and orchards. Th e available water and variety of vegetation provide habitat for fi sh, waterfowl, upland forest species, and a number of threatened and endangered species. Th ese resources are the basis for a host of recreational activities and provide Photo: Cohoes Falls the essential ingredient for the quality of day-to-day life in the Corridor, attract- ing businesses, residents, and tourists to enjoy the natural beauty of the region. Although the Corridor’s natural resources have benefi ted from extensive invest- ments in conservation, they remain sensitive to the adverse eff ects of uncon- trolled development.

  • Wayne Cnty AEM 2015-2020 Strategy
    Wayne County Agricultural Environmental Management Strategic Plan 2015 – 2020 Wayne County Soil & Water Conservation District partnered with: Mission Statement The mission of the Wayne County Soil & Water Conservation District AEM Strategic Plan is to coordinate and conduct outreach to the agricultural community to educate people about the AEM program and to facilitate and encourage AEM participation by farmers in watersheds to improve and protect the environment. Vision Statement The vision of the Wayne County Soil & Water Conservation District AEM Strategic Plan is to partner the farming public and stakeholders and use the AEM program to evaluate and prioritize conservation areas of concern on farms to ultimately implement best management practices that will improve soil and water quality in local watersheds. Introduction Wayne County is located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario in North Western New York. Located on the banks of Lake Ontario, approximately midway between the City of Rochester and the City of Oswego, and just north of the New York State Thruway, Wayne County has access to some of the best land in New York State, as well as being situated in a moderate climate optimum for a variety of commodities but specializing in hearty fruit production. Status of Agriculture in Wayne County Wayne County is in the top five producing counties for New York State in soybeans, dry beans, sweet and tart cherries, peaches, pears, plums, asparagus, carrots, onions, apples, wheat, and potatoes. In addition, Wayne County is the number one county for fruit and berries in New York. In 2012, there were 179,109 acres in farms, 46% of the County’s total 386,696 acres.

A small salt spring had been found in a creek to the north of the present village and the manufacture of salt had started as early as 1792. The salt trade, along with fishing and transportation of goods along the Seneca had given the impetus to the settlement of the small village. In 1810 DeWitt Clin- ton made these observations about Montezuma: “Montezuma is in No. 80 Brutus, in the town of Mentz, and is situated on a strip of land be- tween the river and Cayuga marshes and marsh in the rear, and cannot therefore be healthy.

  • Southeast Lake Ontario Basin
    SOUTHEAST LAKE ONTARIO BASIN Description of the Basin The Southeast Lake Ontario Basin covers 4.3 million acres of land and an additional portion of the New York waters of Lake Ontario from Rochester to just south of Stony Point at the mouth of Stony Creek. The basin sits within the Great Lakes Plain ecosystem and has five sub-watersheds, the largest of which is the Finger Lakes sub-watershed. The basin encompasses all or part of 19 counties. There are several distinctive regions within the basin; Lake Ontario and its shoreline, the Finger Lakes region, the Tug Hill region, and the Syracuse metro area. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Multi-Resolution Land Cover (MRLC) data, the basin’s lands are 47% forested. The forest cover is primarily deciduous forest, with some mixed forest and evergreen stands. The remainder of the land cover is dominated by agricultural uses. Row crops cover 24% of the basin and pasture and hay lands cover another 16% of the basin. A complete listing of the land cover types is found in Table 1. Wetlands, especially freshwater emergent marshes are also a major feature of this basin, although this is not accurately reflected by the MRLC data. In Oswego County, wetlands comprise as much as 20% of the land area. There are several prominent lakes in the basin and water comprises 5% of the land cover outside of Lake Ontario. The basin includes the major Finger Lakes (Canandaigua, Keuka, Seneca, Cayuga, and Owasco), Oneida Lake, and Onondaga Lake. The two major rivers in the basin are the Oswego River that runs from Onondaga County to Lake Ontario, and the Salmon River that runs across the lower Tug Hill area.
