  • The Bear Report Fall 2009 a MESSAGE from the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JIM HALL 400 Years Ago Henry Hudson Passed Through Our Hudson Valley Noting Its Grandeur
    The Bear Report Fall 2009 A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JIM HALL 400 years ago Henry Hudson passed through our Hudson Valley noting its grandeur. Efforts to protect and invest in that magnificence have continued to be a priority of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission since its inception. Our founding families, the Perkinses, the Harrimans, and the Rockefellers created the standard of excellence we resolve to provide each year to over nine million park visitors. There is no shortage of calls for a return to nature and to that end, the revitalization of our State Parks continues to be PIPC’s top priority. Many of our facilities were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) generations ago. Their efforts remind us that when you invest in parks everyone feels better. Undeterred by budget cuts and financial uncertainty, we will continue to find creative ways to raise funds, awareness, and opportunities in order for the Palisades Interstate Parks system to flourish and remain the glorious resource it has been for a century. ~ Jim Hall ~ THE CONSERVANCY HONORS The Perkins Family On Thursday, June 4, 2009 the Palisades Parks Conservancy was privileged to honor the Perkins family, long considered the first family of the Commission. Longtime Hudson River Valley residents, they have blazed a path of philanthropy and action that has yielded dozens of parks, museums, cultural centers, farms, monuments, amusements, and the PIPC Group Camp concept that has served tens of thousands of children of all ages for nearly a century. Their belief in nature as the best medicine of all has had a ripple effect worldwide since George W.

BRISSON AND JALEIGH Q. PIER Geosciences & Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 INTRODUCTION Earth-system perturbations caused a series of mass extinction events during the Devonian Period, including the Taghanic event in the Givetian, the Lower and Upper Kellwasser events in the Frasnian, and the Hangenberg event in the Famennian (House, 2002; Bambach, 2006). These extinctions occurred against the backdrop of orbitally forced sea-level fluctuations, the Acadian Orogeny (Averbuch et al., 2005), the expansion of plants and animals on land (Algeo et al., 1995), and ecological changes in the marine biosphere (Signor and Brett, 1984; Bambach, 1999). The Frasnian-Famennian boundary in particular represents a significant global crisis, considered one of the “big five” mass extinctions (Raup and Sepkoski, 1982) that led to the demise of the widespread and diverse Devonian

  • Ecological Communities of New York State
    Ecological Communities of New York State by Carol Reschke New York Natural Heritage Program N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation 700 Troy-Schenectady Road Latham, NY 12110-2400 March 1990 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The New York Natural Heritage Program is supported by funds from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and The Nature Conservancy. Within DEC, funding comes from the Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Division of Lands and Forests. The Heritage Program is partly supported by funds contributed by state taxpayers through the voluntary Return a Gift to Wildlife program. The Heritage Program has received funding for community inventory work from the Adirondack Council, the Hudson River Foundation, the Sussman Foundation, U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service (Finger Lakes National Forest), and each of the seven New York chapters of The Nature Conservancy (Adirondack Nature Conservancy, Eastern New York Chapter, Central New York Chapter, Long Island Chapter, Lower Hudson Chapter, South Fork/Shelter Island Chapter, and WesternNew YorJ< Chapter) This classification has been developed in part from data collected by numerous field biologists. Some of these contributors have worked under contract to the Natural Heritage Program, including Caryl DeVries, Brian Fitzgerald, Jerry Jenkins, Al Scholz, Edith Schrot, Paul Sherwood, Nancy Slack, Dan Smith, Gordon Tucker, and F. Robert Wesley. Present and former Heritage staff who have contributed a significant portion of field data include Peter Zika, Robert E. Zaremba, Lauren Lyons-Swift, Steven Clemants, and the author. Chris Nadareski helped compile long species lists for many communities by entering data from field survey forms into computer files.
