    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.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

  • Precambrian and Paleozoic Geology of the Hudson Highlands

    Precambrian and Paleozoic Geology of the Hudson Highlands

    41 PRE-CAMBRIAN AND PALEOZOIC GEOLOGY OF THE HUDSON HIGHLANDS Kurt E. Lowe The City College Trip D Introduction The route of Trip D crosses the Hudson Highlands northwestward (perpen­ dicular to the structural trend) affording opportunities of studying the petrology, structure and geomorphology of the Pre-Cambrian crystallines. It then turns northeastward to reach the northern gateway of the Hudson gorge at Cornwall-on­ Hudson by following the belt of early Paleozoic sediments along the northwest border of the Highlands. These sediments and their structural relations to the Highlands crystallines are briefly examined in the field. The return leg of the trip again eros !!Ie s the Highlands (this time oblique to the structure) along the west side of the Hudson gorge to Bear Mt., where it crosses the Ri~er to Peekskill. The reader is referred to Lowe (1949, 1950) from which much of the following information has been extracted. The Hudson Highlands The Highlands are a chain of low, but rugged, mountain ranges extending about 140 miles from Reading, Pa. northeastward through northern New Jersey and southeastern New York into western. Connecticut. They are mostly Pre­ Cambrian crystallines, representing an ancient orogenic belt of Grenville (? ) sediments which were folded, faulted, metamorphosed and invaded by several igneous phases (Plate 1). The Hudson Highlands, a rather loose geographical term, refers to that portion of the mountain chain which lie s athwart the Hudson River in New York State. Geomorphology Geomorphically the Highlands are known as the Reading Prong of the New England Upland. In view of the long, continued exposure of the Highlands to subaerial erosion (perhaps since early Mesozoic times) present topographic features exhibit the effects of structural and lithologic control to a high degree.
