Bethpage Black and Eisenhower Park Red combine to make Long Island a colorful golf destination By Jason Scott Deegan November 7, 2014 SHOREHAM, N.Y. -- With roughly 45 public courses, Long Island provides plenty of affordable golf within a five-hour drive of New York City. The epicenter, of course, is Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, home to five municipal courses. Bethpage Black, an A.W. Tillinghast classic, hosted the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Opens and is on tap for the 2019 PGA Championship and 2024 Ryder Cup. It's an epic challenge from the 6,700-yard white tees. Shooting your handicap is virtually impossible for first-timers, given its elevated greens and fierce bunkering. The Red Course at Bethpage has a reputation for being nearly as strong. Bethpage's Blue, Yellow and White Courses round out this popular facility of the people. More patriotic-colored courses -- the Red, White and Blue -- are found in East Meadow at Eisenhower Park, a sprawling playground run by Nassau County that includes a 9/11 Memorial, mini-golf, a massive lighted driving range, swimming and more. Eisenhower Park's Red Course designed by Devereux Emmet has hosted a major too -- the 1926 PGA Championship won by Walter Hagen -- as well as a Champions Tour event. Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed the Blue Course and White Course at Eisenhower Park. Two other unique golf experiences are found much farther from the Big Apple in Suffolk County, the Tallgrass Golf Club in Shoreham, and Montauk Downs State Park Golf Course in Montauk. Architect Gil Hanse designed Tallgrass to be a faux inland links that's fun and mostly forgiving. Montauk Downs, ranked the second-best "hidden gem" in the country by Golf Channel travel expert Matt Ginella, is another state park course kept in great shape for an affordable green fee. Its elevated greens aren't as intimidating as Bethpage Black, but they're still tough to hit and hold. With no houses in sight and thick scrub lining the fairway, Montauk Downs, hunkered down at the eastern tip of Long Island, feels far from civilization. A round is the perfect escape from the crush of city life for a day. http://www.golfnewyork.com/photo-galleries/top-long-island-public-golf-courses-ny-14873.htm .

Appendices Section
APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.

Golfweek's Best 2018: Courses You Can Play
Golfweek's Best 2018: Courses You Can Play Warren Little/Getty Images By: Golfweek Staff | April 17, 2018 GOLFWEEK MAGAZINE Welcome to Golfweek’s annual Best. Each spring, we publish the three lists that are the foundation of our course-ratings program: Golfweek’s Best Classic Courses, Golfweek’s Best Modern Courses and Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play. The members of our course-ratings panel continually evaluate courses and rate them based on our 10 criteria. They also file a single, overall rating on each course. Those overall ratings on each course are averaged together to produce a final rating for each course. Then each course is ranked against other courses in its state, or nationally, to produce the final rankings. We hope you enjoy poring over these rankings, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts on this Best Courses You Can Play list: (see Potomac Shores under the Virginia state list) Alabama 1.

Below Is the List of Planned Park Closures in the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference Region
Below is the list of planned park closures in the New York-New Jersey Trail Conference region. See the full list of proposed closures at http://readme.readmedia.com/Statements- from-Governor-David-A-Paterson-and-Commissioner-Carol-Ash/1166601 February 19, 2010 Statement by Governor Patterson and State Parks Commissioner Carol Ash: The Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) today put forward a list of closures and service reductions in order to achieve its proposed 2010-11 agency savings target and help address the State's historic fiscal difficulties. As part of a comprehensive plan to close an $8.2 billion deficit, the 2010-11 Executive Budget included necessary cost reductions to each executive State agency, as well as cuts to education, health care, social services, and every other area of State spending. OPRHP's plan includes the closure of 41 parks and 14 historic sites, and service reductions at 23 parks and 1 historic site. The plan also assumes $4 million in park and historic site fee increases that will be identified at a later date, and the use of $5 million in funds from the Environmental Protection Fund (EPF) to finance OPRHP operations. These two actions were part of the 21-day amendments to the Executive Budget and are intended to reduce the number of parks and historic sites subject to closures and service reductions.

State Park Highlights by Region
STATE PARK HIGHLIGHTS BY REGION The 359 imperiled animal species, rare plant species, and significant natural community types known in the state park system are distributed across the state according to the availability of habitat, so boreal species, for example, are typically restricted to northerly regions while Midwestern species are mostly in western New York. Despite this patchy distribution, however, the numbers of rare species and natural community types in each region consistently range between about five and 20 (Figure 3). The Long Island and Palisades Regions, however, are dramatically more diverse. While exploring the reasons for the variation in the Long Island and Palisades Regions was beyond the scope of this project, we surmise that several factors may be behind it. First, many of New York’s rare species and unusual natural community types are maritime, and these species and communities are restricted to Long Island. Second, the Long Island and Palisades Regions may capture species and natural community types (such as tiger salamanders – Ambystoma tigrinum) that are reaching the northern extent of their ranges. Third, these regions include several geologically unusual areas, particularly the Long Island moraine and the Shawangunk Ridge, which create uncommon habitats. Finally, the Palisades Region includes several of the state’s largest parks – Harriman, Sterling Forest®, and Minnewaska – and greater area increases the likelihood of having a rare species or significant natural community present. A final factor that may or may not hold up under analysis is that the Long Island and Palisades Regions have undergone some of the most intensive development in the state, which may have given them a disproportionate number of species that were once common but are now rare.
