    Enviro-News June, 2013 Sponsored by Daemen College’s Center for Sustainable Communities and Civic Engagement and Global & Local Sustainability Program Newsletter Contents: Articles- including events, courses, local news, grants, positions Upcoming Activities Tips to Help the Environment Articles: Our Planet Topped 400 We reached a milestone last month and not one to celebrate. Our atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels reached 400 parts per million. CO2 levels have been steadily rising (http://climate.nasa.gov/news/916) throughout the industrialized era and we know that the burning of fossil fuels (gasoline, natural gas, coal, heating oil, propane) release CO2 into the atmosphere. Increases in this greenhouse gas have consequences: environmental change, human health issues, economic ramifications and social implications. Although we can’t pin the blame for a particular tornado or hurricane on CO2 levels, numerous models predict increases in erratic weather and more powerful storms. We can all feel helpless when presented with global problems. Making changes at home is important, but we need to advocate for positive steps on a larger scale. It is easy to say “they should do something about it”. We are part of “they” and we should expect our elected officials to represent our views through policy and action. Few politicians are mind readers, so make sure that your elected representatives know your views on all of the issues that you consider important. Buffalo News Great Lakes Series The Buffalo News has recently published a front-page special report series on the Great Lakes. Beginning Sunday, May 26, Buffalo News reporter T. J. Pignataro has addressed a separate topic over five days covering sewage and the beaches, invasive species, lake levels, the Dead Zone and botulism, trash and the future.

Wetland species are well represented in sanctuaries, but calciphilic species are not. Minor political districts are ranked by richness in numbers of species, especially those of restricted habitat. Botanically significant areas are listed. iv Floristics and En,ironmental Planning CONSERVATION AND PLANT MAPPING This publication is primarily intended for persons concerned with environmental planning and conservation. Analysis of the known distribution of plant species by the compilation of "dot maps" enables areas of species richness, diversity, and habitat restriction to be dis­ tinguished.

  • Special Purpose Parks
    SPECIAL PURPOSE PARKS 4.0 SPECIAL PURPOSE PARKS 4.1 Elma Meadows Park 4.2 Grover Cleveland Golf Course 4.3 Sprague Brook Park V2-222 4.1 ELMA MEADOWS PARK FINAL PLAN ELMA MEADOWS PARK DESCRIPTION Elma Meadows is a 214-acre facility functioning primarily as an 18-hole par 72 golf course in the Town of Elma, but also has a secondary use as a picnic grove and passive recreation area. The picnic area occupies approximately 25 acres of land. The property has impressive topography with highpoints in the northwest to lowlands in the southeast. The golf course takes advantage of this change of elevation, and the large grassy slopes are heavily used in the winter for sledding. PARK The east and north sides of the park border Buffalo Creek. NAME Given its impressive topography and scenery, as well as reasonable rates, Elma Meadows has been a favorite with area golfers and among seasonal park users. Many from the community utilize the park during the winter for sledding and its groomed cross-country trails. PARK AND AREA HISTORY Construction for Elma Meadows Park began in the fall of 1957. The winter sports component was ready in 1958 and the golf component was completed in the spring of 1959. Mrs. Frank C. Gervan of 61 Connection Dr. came up with the name “Elma Meadows” in July 1958. Prices per round of golf on weekdays were $1.50 and $2.50 on Saturdays, Sundays & holidays. Park Location Map: Elma Meadows Park is located in the Town of Elma off of Girdle Road PARK SPECIFIC PRIORITIES • Provide the required number of accessible parking spaces, including signage and aisle striping.
