    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.
  • Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area by Salmon River Steward Luke Connor

    Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area by Salmon River Steward Luke Connor

    2008 Steward Series Fall in Love with the Falls: Salmon River Falls Unique Area By Salmon River Steward Luke Connor When visiting the Salmon River Falls Unique Area you may get to meet a Salmon River Steward. Salmon River Stewards serve as a friendly source of public information as they monitor “The Falls” and other public access sites along the Salmon River corridor. Stewards are knowledgeable of the area’s plants, wildlife, history, trails, and are excited to share that information with visitors. The Salmon River Falls Unique Area attracts tourists from both out of state and within New York. The Falls, located in Orwell, NY, is approximately 6 miles northeast of the Salmon River Fish Hatchery, and is on Falls Rd. Recent changes at The Falls have made them even more inviting. In 2003 the Falls Trail became compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The hard gravel trail allows people with various levels of physical abilities to use its flat surface. In 2008 the Riverbed Trail and the Gorge Trail each underwent enhancements by the Adirondack (ADK) Mountain Club, but are not ADA-compliant. The first recorded people to use the Salmon River Falls Unique Area were three Native American tribes of the Iroquois Nation: the Cayuga, Onondaga, and Oneida. Because the 110-ft-high waterfall served as the natural barrier to Atlantic Salmon migration, the Native American tribes, and likely European settlers, congregated at the Falls to harvest fish. In 1993 the Falls property was bought by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation with support from other organizations.
