  • Henry Hudson Park, 2007
    Natural Area Mapping and Inventory of Henry Hudson Park 2007 Survey Prepared by the Natural Resources Group Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor Adrian Benepe, Commissioner Bill Tai, Director January 8, 2008 Henry Hudson Park Natural Area Mapping & Inventory 9.81 acres Introduction City of New York Parks & Recreation (DPR) manages one of the most extensive and varied park systems of any city in the world. These 29,000 acres of city park property occupy about 15 percent of New York City’s total area. In addition to flagship parks such as Central Park and Prospect Park, the city’s parklands include over 11,000 acres of natural areas. Until the 1980’s, the Parks Department was primarily concerned with developed landscapes and recreation facilities rather than natural areas. In the absence of a comprehensive management policy, these areas succumbed to invasive species, pollution and erosion. In 1984, Parks established the Natural Resources Group (NRG) with a mandate to acquire, restore and manage natural areas in New York City. The wetlands, forests, meadows, and shorelines under NRG’s jurisdiction provide valuable habitat for hundreds of species, from rare wildflowers to endangered birds of prey. In addition to the goals mentioned above, NRG serves as a clearinghouse for technical research to aid in the protection and restoration of the city's natural resources. This inventory of Henry Hudson Park was conducted in 2007 as part of NRG’s commitment to improving the natural areas of New York City parks. Henry Hudson Park, named after the famed English explorer, is located in the Bronx, between Palisade Avenue and Independance Avenue.

  • Hudson River Almanac: a Day in the Life of the Hudson 2011
    HUDSON RIVER ALMANAC for OCTOBER 18, 2011 A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE HUDSON RIVER Compiled by Steve Stanne, Hudson River Estuary Program Education Coordinator New York State Department of Environmental Conservation <<<<< OVERVIEW >>>>> This special Hudson River Almanac offers a snapshot of the ninth annual “Day in the Life of the Hudson River,” during which students sampled the Hudson from its non-tidal reaches above Troy to the Lower Bay of New York Harbor. Over 3,200 participants visited 64 sites, learning about their piece of the river and – by sharing their data online – putting it in the context of the entire system. The entries in this journal came from students, classroom teachers, environmental educators, and “runners” who visited multiple sites to document activities and pick up samples for later testing. <<<<< HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY >>>>> Schodack Island, HRM 133: A Day in the Life was anxiously awaited by all. As the Doane Stuart School students arrived there was much buzz about all the cool things we would be doing. The children had not done the program before and loved every minute of it. I, having been there for several years, was a little sad. There were so many signs of the flooding from Tropical Storm Irene – dried cracked mud where there used to be grass and plants. When we tried to seine we could only walk down the boat ramp about eight feet before our waders got mired in mud above our ankles. On the bright side, we got a 6½” striper that thrilled the kids and a net full of spottail shiners - proof that nature recovers.

  • 2020 Hudson River Access Plan Poughkeepsie to Rensselaer
    2020 HUDSON RIVER ACCESS PLAN POUGHKEEPSIE TO RENSSELAER FINAL REPORT GEORGE STAFFORD MARCH 2020 Photo courtesy of Jeanne Casatelli ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Hundreds of individuals, elected officials, agencies and organizations have contributed to the development of this document through their words and actions. They include: • People passionate about improved access to the Hudson River who attended public meetings, provided more than 1,000 comments and 5,000 votes on places where they use or wish to use the river, and have been directly involved in keeping access points open by taking part in cleanups along the shorelines and other activities. • Elected federal, state and local officials from Poughkeepsie to Rensselaer who provided letters and resolutions contained in this report, participated in phone interviews, facilitated public meeting sites, and elevated the importance of saving and increasing access points through their support of local plans and reports issued in recent years. • Individuals and organizations who collaborated on the Hudson River Access Forum that issued “Between the Railroad and the River—Public Access Issues and Opportunities along the Tidal Hudson.” This 1989 publication remains extremely relevant. • Finally, we wish to thank Matthew Atkinson, who authored “On the Wrong Side of the Railroad Tracks: Public Access to the Hudson River” (1996) for the Pace Environmental Law Review. This work provides a phenomenal review of the public trust doctrine and the legal principles governing the railroads’ obligation to provide river access. Mr. Atkinson’s advice during the development of this document proved invaluable. CONTACT / PRIMARY AUTHORS CONTACT Jeffrey Anzevino, AICP Director of Land Use Advocacy Scenic Hudson, Inc.
