  • Wetlands of Saratoga County New York
    Acknowledgments THIS BOOKLET I S THE PRODUCT Of THE work of many individuals. Although it is based on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), tlus booklet would not have been produced without the support and cooperation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Patrick Pergola served as project coordinator for the wetlands inventory and Dan Montella was project coordinator for the preparation of this booklet. Ralph Tiner coordi­ nated the effort for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Data compiled from the NWI serve as the foun­ dation for much of this report. Information on the wetland status for this area is the result of hard work by photointerpreters, mainly Irene Huber (University of Massachusetts) with assistance from D avid Foulis and Todd Nuerminger. Glenn Smith (FWS) provided quality control of the interpreted aerial photographs and draft maps and collected field data on wetland communities. Tim Post (N.Y. State D epartment of Environmental Conservation), John Swords (FWS), James Schaberl and Chris Martin (National Park Ser­ vice) assisted in the field and the review of draft maps. Among other FWS staff contributing to this effort were Kurt Snider, Greg Pipkin, Kevin Bon, Becky Stanley, and Matt Starr. The booklet was reviewed by several people including Kathleen Drake (EPA), G eorge H odgson (Saratoga County Environmental Management Council), John Hamilton (Soil and W ater Conserva­ tion District), Dan Spada (Adirondack Park Agency), Pat Riexinger (N.Y. State Department of Environ­ mental Conservation), Susan Essig (FWS), and Jen­ nifer Brady-Connor (Association of State Wetland Nlanagers).

  • Building Better Parks: Update on NY Parks 2020 Progress (Pdf)
    BUILDING BETTER PARKS Update on NY Parks 2020 Progress LEADING THE NATION ON PARKS Niagara Falls State Park Dedication Letchworth Nature Center Dedication Jones Beach State Park West Bathhouse Dedication century ago, New York State built a park system that became the model A for the nation – a system that celebrated nature and gave people of all income levels a place to enjoy it. This system of parks, assembled with great vision and ambition, was a great gift to the people that was to last for the ages. Unfortunately, as time passed we did not fully appreciate the gift. It was our responsibility as citizens to preserve it and protect it and pass it on to our children, and we had not done that. From the outset of my administration in 2011, we have worked to reverse the trend of deteriorating parks. We launched NY Parks 2020, a $900 million multi-year commitment to restore the park system. This is an investment in a system unique in the nation. We are bringing back the grandeur bestowed on us, while improving our tourism economy. It’s an important investment and it’s one that we’re going to be proud to pass on to our children. Governor Andrew M. Cuomo NY PARKS 2020: $900 million to revitalize New York State Parks 176 Parks Improved and Counting 300 New Cabins and Cottages 30 New Nature and Jones Beach State Park Nature Center Cultural Centers 72 New and Improved Playgrounds 90 New and Improved Bathrooms 700 Infrastructure Allegany State Park Letchworth State Park Projects The Governor has made the protection of land and parks a hallmark of his tenure.

CUOMO GOVERNOR CUOMO ANNOUNCES GRANTS AWARDED TO NONPROFITS SUPPORTING STEWARDSHIP OF 29 STATE PARKS Funding for State Parks, Forest and Historic Sites Partner Organizations Will Improve Maintenance of Open Spaces Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that the State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, the Department of Environmental Conservation, and the advocacy group Parks & Trails New York have awarded grants to support not- for-profit organizations involved with stewardship of 29 State Parks, historic sites and public lands. The 29 grants provided to partner organizations will help to improve the maintenance of these historic open spaces. "The grants announced today will help bolster efforts to keep New York's open spaces beautiful and pristine at a time when more New Yorkers than ever are turning to nature for refuge and relaxation," Governor Cuomo said. "New York is thankful for this dedicated group of volunteers, which provide invaluable support to our park system by devoting their time to help make improvements that all of us can enjoy." The Park and Trail Partnership Program grants are funded through the state Environmental Protection Fund and support partner group efforts to raise private funds for capital projects, perform maintenance tasks, provide educational programming, and promote public use of the parks through hosting of special events. The program, established in 2015, has awarded $900,000 in its fifth round and to date, has awarded $2.7 million
