  • Historic Overview
    Updated Reconnaissance Level Survey of Historic Resources Town of Amherst HISTORIC OVERVIEW LOCATION The Town of Amherst lies in northern Erie County, New York. It is bordered by Niagara County to the north, the Erie County towns of Clarence to the east, Cheektowaga to the south, and Tonawanda to the west. The total area of Amherst is approximately 53 square miles. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING The natural environmental setting influenced prehistoric and historic settlement patterns in the Town of Amherst. The town lies within the Erie‐Ontario Lake Plain physiographic province, described as a nearly level lowland plain with few prominent topographic features. The area is underlain by Onondaga limestone dating to the Late Devonian period. Later glaciations shaped much of the western New York topography, including that of Amherst. One of the most prominent topographic features in the relatively featureless province is the Onondaga Escarpment, an east‐west trending hard limestone bedrock formation that lies in the southern portion of the Town of Amherst. The Onondaga Escarpment proved resistant to the effects of glacial scouring and it forms the southern boundary of a large basin once occupied by the shallow glacial Lake Tonawanda. Lake Tonawanda eventually receded leaving behind wetlands and deposits of clay and sand throughout much of northern Amherst (Owens et al. 1986:2). The most important drainages in the Town of Amherst are Tonawanda Creek, Ransom Creek, and Ellicott Creek. Tonawanda Creek forms the northern boundary between Amherst and Niagara County. It flows in a western direction and drains much of the eastern and Northern portions of Amherst.

  • Impact of Urbanization on Large Wood Sizes and Associated Recruitment Zones
    hydrology Article Impact of Urbanization on Large Wood Sizes and Associated Recruitment Zones Matthew T. Allen 1 and Philippe G. Vidon 2,* 1 Atlantic States Rural Water & Wastewater Association, 11 High St., Suite 204, Suffield, CT 06078, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Sustainable Resources Management, State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF), 1 Forestry Drive, Syracuse, NY 13210, USA * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 14 October 2020; Accepted: 13 November 2020; Published: 16 November 2020 Abstract: Although the presence of large wood (LW) has long been recognized to enhance watershed function, land use impact on LW remains poorly understood. Using a series of six watersheds, we investigate the relationships between LW recruitment zones, LW size, and LW jam occurrence and land use. Although the results in general show urban land use to severely limit LW, they also stress that agricultural land use may be positively correlated to LW. Occurrence of potentially productive LW recruitment zones is nevertheless best correlated to total forest land cover and forested riparian area. However, the lack of mature forest due to previous widespread deforestation linked to historical agricultural land use is likely a limiting legacy effect. Since the pattern of land use seen in the study area is typical of much of the developed world, our results suggest the limiting of LW may be a major way in which watersheds are impacted in many regions. Accordingly, reintroduction of LW represents a significant opportunity to restore watersheds on a broad scale. Specifically, we propose a mix of passive conservation and active restoration of LW sources and that the targeting of these tactics be planned using the spatial analysis methods of this study.

  • Ellicott Creek Park Final Plan
    2.4 ELLICOTT CREEK PARK FINAL PLAN ELLICOTT CREEK PARK DESCRIPTION At 165 acres, Ellicott Creek Park is one of the original Heritage parks in the County system, and is entirely within an urban environment setting. The park is centrally located and easily accessed by residents of Tonawanda, Amherst, Buffalo, and North Tonawanda (Niagara County), and is also a destination along area bike routes, including the Ellicott Creek Bike Path (via the Town of Amherst), and Erie Canalway Trail which connects with the Shoreline Trail. It is one of the four oldest parks in the system, acquired by the County in 1925 due to its attractive landscape setting between Ellicott Creek and the Erie Canal (Tonawanda Creek). This beautiful Heritage park is noted for its impressive collection of old stone structures and waterfront setting. Ellicott Creek Park is generally flat, which was considered ideal for the development of many field sports and active recreation, such as tennis and ice- skating. The Park is bisected by a major floodway corridor (spillway flume) between the two Creeks. Park Location Map: Ellicott Creek Park is located in the Town of Tonawanda PARK SPECIFIC PRIORITIES • Preserve and enhance Heritage areas and special park features, including; Repoint/clean stonework where needed, replace missing stones, replace or repair roofs, make improvements to concrete/asphalt floors, etc. to all historic structures and facilities. • Reduce lawn mowing in passive recreational areas, provide meadows and wildflowers to enhance natural character of park. • Coordinate with Friends of Ellicott Island Bark Park to maintain and upgrade amenities on Ellicott Island, as well as protecting and enhancing sensitive shoreline conditions.

These two organizations are investing a lot in marketing the None Delaware Park cultural institutions to out of town visitors and we want to make sure that visitors 1 1 x 6/7/2007 (Member of the E-mail from Niagara Falls find it easy to get to and from the cultural venues.

It was initially built as a Village Park in the early 1930s, but was later acquired by Erie County in 1947. This 154-acre, multi-purpose park features many iconic old stone structures and sloping terrain that straddles the scenic Murder Creek. The dominant natural feature of the park is the 80’-high Akron Falls along the Onondaga Escarpment, which includes two VHSDUDWHFDWDUDFWVRQ0XUGHU&UHHN7KH&UHHNWKHQÁRZVWKURXJK a scenic glen within the park that includes an old manmade lake with dam, several islands, pathways and picnic areas.

When the County Parks System was established in 1925, there were initially four parks. Now, almost 100 years later, the system is comprised of 40 sites throughout the County, and provides something for everyone from recreational sports fields to cascading waterfalls, hiking trails, biking pathways, sitting and relaxing in nature, wildlife observing, and much more. The County Parks System providing some of the most popular places to sled, cross- country-ski and ice-skate throughout the winter season. Each season of the year presents great opportunities for the public to enjoy the diverse park settings. The Erie County Parks Master Plan Update, which was initiated in 2016, is primarily focused on the preservation, enhancement, and improvement of the existing system assets and landscape setting. Previous County Parks Master Plans were completed approximately in 15 year intervals, the last one in 2003. The planning process consisted of public consultation, stakeholder meetings with over 65 local groups and agencies, a parks user survey, numerous Historic photograph of Chestnut Ridge Park meetings, and work sessions. Physical assessment included inventory of all notable assets within the MISSION STATEMENT County’s heritage parks, and many site visits during different times of the year.
