  • Concept Plan for a Hut-To-Hut Destination-Based Trail System
    Table of Contents Page Preface 2 Introduction 3 The Adirondack Community-based Trails and Lodging Concept 3 Destination Trails: Circuits, Traverses, and Spur Trails 5 Lodging 6 Keys to Success 8 Proposed Conceptual Routes 10 1. The Process 2. Prioritized List of Routes 3. Route Descriptions & Maps General Recommendations 102 Summary 104 Appendix - Glossary 108 References 111 Preface Although this project has the complexity of a long-term project, our work has been conducted over a relatively short four-month time frame. Attempts were made to reach out to as many stakeholders as possible. In spite of the fact that we traveled many existing trails in the process of exploring potential routes, it was impossible to explore all of these to our desired level of detail. Our task was to propose routes in the Five Towns region of the central Adirondack Park that will comprise part of a parkwide hut-to-hut destination-trail system. It is important to keep in mind two things: the proposed routes are conceptual in nature, with proposed strategic locations for lodging and suggestions for new sections of trail; and, our directive was to “think out of the box” regarding what might be required to make the destination trails and lodging system a reality. While we think exploring the use of temporary lodging on Forest Preserve lands is a legitimate exercise given the current permitted use of temporary hunting camps, we recognize the need to ensure that all the concepts shared in this report are consistent with Article XIV. In addition, we must ensure that these concepts adhere to pertinent rules and regulations or recognize that, perhaps in some cases, existing regulations may need to be modified.

  • Mountain Birdwatch 2006
    Mountain Birdwatch 2006 © Jeff Nadler FINAL REPORT TO THE UNITED STATES FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE June 14, 2007 Julie A. Hart and J. Daniel Lambert VINS Technical Report 07-3 Vermont Institute of Natural Science 6565 Woodstock Road, Quechee, VT 05059 ABSTRACT Mountain Birdwatch is a long-term monitoring program for songbirds that breed in high-elevation forests of the northeastern U.S. Since 2001, the Vermont Institute of Natural Science (VINS) has prepared skilled volunteers to conduct annual surveys along 1- km point count routes located in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Primary emphasis is placed on Bicknell’s Thrush, a montane fir specialist that breeds only in the Northeast and adjacent portions of Canada. Other focal species include Blackpoll Warbler, Swainson’s Thrush, White-throated Sparrow, and Winter Wren. In 2006, Mountain Birdwatchers gathered observations from 155 locations, with point count surveys completed on 119 routes. Bicknell’s Thrush occurred at a frequency similar to 2005. It was detected by point count on 63% of the routes and by any means on 90% of the routes. However, the abundance index for this species fell from a 2005 high of 0.3 individuals per point to the 2001-2004 average of 0.25 individuals per point. Counts of Swainson’s Thrush and Winter Wren reached record highs in 2006, continuing an increasing trend that began in 2003. Blackpoll Warbler exhibited similar gains during this period, following a sharp drop in 2002. White-throated Sparrow numbers remained low for the fourth consecutive year, compared to high counts made in 2001 and 2002.
