  • 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.

  • Testimony of Parks & Trails New York the Future Development, Growth
    Testimony of Parks & Trails New York The Future Development, Growth and Maintenance of the State Park System Assembly Committee on Tourism, Parks, Arts, and Sports Development November 21, 2013 Good morning Chairperson Markey and members of the committee. My name is Robin Dropkin and I am Executive Director of Parks & Trails New York. We have been the state’s leading advocate for parks and trails for nearly 30 years and are dedicated to improving New Yorkers’ health, economy, and quality of life through the use and enjoyment of green space. Thank you for this opportunity to speak out on behalf of New York’s magnificent state park system and to explore ways to efficiently and effectively manage existing assets while continuing to enhance the park system and maximize public use and enjoyment of its facilities. A State Parks Renaissance New York State has a long and proud tradition of being a leader in environmental protection and our state park system is second to none. Today, our 214 state parks and historic sites are significant economic drivers, while also strengthening New Yorkers’ health and fitness, enhancing their quality of life, and preserving invaluable landscapes, ecosystems and historic and cultural treasures. Thanks to the leadership of the Governor and the Legislature, state parks have received an historic infusion of capital funding through the New York Works initiative to restore and rebuild state parks’ aging and dilapidated infrastructure. The $179 million committed in the last two state budgets is breathing new life into a park system that has suffered from decades of underfunding while creating thousands of local jobs and helping to grow the state’s economy.
