  • 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.

  • KEN-DEEDY-Edited-Transcript.Pdf
    INTERVIEW WITH KEN DEEDEY, MAY 18, 2018 Conducted by Ted Mascott Max DelSignore: The St. Lawrence River community and the North Country lost a passionate environmental advocate with the passing of Ken Deedy in the summer of 2018. A long-time Grindstone Island resident, Ken had an unwavering affinity for River area organizations, and was a principal founder of the Thousand Islands Land Trust, based in Clayton, New York. He served as president of the land trust for 16 years, and a board member for 33 years. Ken also maintained a charitable fund at the Northern New York Community Foundation that benefitted River area programs for many years. Ken was a great storyteller. A few weeks before his death, in August of 2018, he reflected on his fondest memories with his good friend, Ted Mascott. The following is a series of stories that capture the personalities and spirit of the many North Country people that, taken together, weave a fabric of caring, giving, and preserving. We hope you enjoy listening to this conversation with Ken Deedy. SEGMENT A: When and how Ken first came to the 1000 Islands and later purchased the cottage site on Grindstone Island. Ted: I thought we might start by your telling us how you first came to the river, you and your family. Ken: Well, I was a teenager I think, probably- Ted: And what year would that have been? Ken: Either '50, or '51. I never did look it up. My brother was in the army at the time, serving in Germany during the Korean war, and my parents, who both worked, would get annual vacations.
