The purpose of the Action Plan is to identify the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program’s planned activities, accomplishments, and next steps to achieve recommendations derived from stream management plans and stakeholder input. Program activities were reviewed by our Stakeholder Council at November 2017 and April 2018 meetings and their comments are reflected in this 2018-2020 work plan. The Action Plan is divided into key programmatic areas: A. Protecting and Enhancing Stream Stability and Water Quality B. Floodplain Management and Planning C. Highway Infrastructure Management in Conjunction with Streams D. Assisting Streamside Landowners (public and private) E. Protecting and Enhancing Aquatic and Riparian Habitat and Ecosystems F. Enhancing Public Access to Streams The Action Plan is updated annually. This proposed plan will run from June 1, 2018 until May 31, 2020, at which time the recommendations will be revised based on new stream assessments and program needs.

Annual dinner announcement In Memoriam Hike Schedule Member lists Editor's Notes 1 Spathe and Spadix The President’s Column by Heather Rolland As I sit down to write my penultimate President’s column, the snow is piling up. I’m preparing for craft fairs, cooking, dressing the dogs in blaze orange finery, and anticipating the dreaded holiday family get-togethers. We’ve all been there, sitting around the table with Aunt Gertie and Uncle Jasper, and someone asks you about Your Hiking Thing. After all the requisite jokes about the Bataan Death March and how the only hiking Cousin Fred is doing this year is to the fridge and back to the couch… someone asks you the why question. Why do you do it? Why a list? Why in the winter? And especially why if there is no view at the top? I have said it before: the Catskill Forest Preserve is my temple and my gym. The oft repeated John Burroughs quote rings true for me: I too go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

    rartioter Vol. XII, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 7 9 BLACK DOME IN 1924 The Catskill Mountains have been known to white men for three hundred years and their valleys have been settled more than a cen- tury. It would seem as if all their summits ought by this time to be easily accessible by well known trails. Yet there are a dozen or more of the higher ones, above 3500 feet, which have no trails to their summits and which are climbed only by the exploring hiker, or perhaps a bear hunter in winter. I recently found another trackless peak, Black Dome, just under 4000 feet--3990 according to the Durham sheet of the United States Geological Survey--on a week-end climb in the northern Catskills. There is no trail over it, and the only paths that reach its flanks are faded out logging roads in the valleys north and south, attain- ing heights 1500 feet below its highest point. Black Dome is the central and highest of the three peaks that make up the Blackhead Mountains, running east and west, Black Head being the easternmost, then Black Dome and the last Thomas Cole. The other two are about fifty feet lower than the Dome. South of them is the valley of the East Kill, north that of Batavia Kill. North of Black Head runs a long ridge to Acra Point, then turning west to Windham High Peak. South this ridge runs through North Mountain and Stoppel Mountain to Kaaterskill Clove. Black Head is accessible by a good trail.
  • Regional Setting

    Regional Setting

    IV-A: Regional Setting The Batavia Kill watershed is located in the northeastern limits of the Catskill Mountains; within the Appalachian Plateau physiographic province. The headwaters of the Batavia Kill originate on the south slopes of Windham High Peak, Burnt Knob and Acra Point mountains, and the north slope of the Blackhead Range, which are some of the highest elevations in the Catskills. The Batavia Kill watershed is located entirely within Greene County. The majority of the watershed is located in the Town of Windham, with lesser portions in the Towns of Ashland and Prattsville. These three towns as well as Greene County comprise the municipal governments in the watershed. While there are several hamlets, there are no incorporated villages. A portion of the watershed is located within the protected 700,000 acre Catskill State Park. In addition, a short section of the stream at the Windham-Ashland town line carries a National Scenic River Designation from the US Park Service. While the watershed is characterized by its rural nature, it is located a convenient driving distance from several major population centers. Metropolitan New York, and the populated area of northern New Jersey are as close as 2 ½ hours by car, while the Albany/Capitol District area is approximately one hour away. Philadelphia, Boston, and Montreal are all within an easy day’s drive of the watershed. The watershed is easily accessible from the NYS Thruway, and is also bisected by NYS Route 23, one of only a few Figure IV-1 Batavia Kill Watershed Regional Location. routes that provide east-west access through the mountains.

    R Canister Before

    r canister Vol. XXIV, No. 1 WINTER 1 9 9 1 SOUTHWEST HUNTER, WHERE ARE YOU? We know you're there because we've both been to your canister before. Rich helped put it up over two years ago, and I've been there and signed in twice. But when we try together to find your canister . Our first attempt was last spring. I promised to get Rich to the old logging railroad bed, and he promised to get me to the peak. It seemed fair enough. We hiked up the Spruceton Trail to Hunter. As we climbed, we encountered some snow, but it wasn't tough going. In fact, with the bright sun shining on the snow and the ice on the trees, it was still a winter wonderland. We stopped at Hunter for a quick lunch, then took the Hunter Mountain Trail to the Devil's Path and the rail bed. Dawn the bed we hiked until Rich indicated it was time to turn uphill. A piece of cake, we thought. On our climb, we found same footprints in the snow; someone else had reached the canister this way. But we knew better than to follow tracks. There was always the chance their owner was wrong. Well, to make a long story short, we floundered: through balsam, snow, back and forth, around. And no, we didn't find the canister. Not long after that attempt, there was a group hike to Southwest Hunter, and I went along. I carefully timed our trip down the railroad bed. I locked landmarks in my mind's eye as we turned and headed uphill.

    Catskill Park Advisory Committee Meeting Notes October 28, 2020 At

    Catskill Park Advisory Committee Meeting Notes October 28, 2020 at 10:00am Meeting held via Zoom Jeff Senterman welcomed all present and thanked everyone for taking part virtually. He went over a few housekeeping and technical details for the zoom meeting. Jeff also thanked so many stakeholders for submitting reports ahead of time. He said that this helps keep the meeting moving forward and ensures that information that groups want to get out, gets out to all CPAC members. Kathy Nolan mentioned a new group – the Catskill Strategic Planning Advisory Group (CAG) and noted that the group should be added to the agenda. Jeff noted that the new Catskill Rec plan is now available for download on the Catskill Watershed Corporation’s website (https://cwconline.org/catskill-recreation-plan/). Public comments that were submitted have been included and addressed in the final. Updates: FPAC Update: Peter Frank apologized for the technical difficulties at FPAC. All felt it was challenging and using Webex was “a challenge at best.” Discussing one possibility as maybe having an FPAC member host a zoom meeting – as the state must use Webex, but a guest could host using zoom. Jeff S. offered assistance. NYSDEC Update: Peter Frank provided updates from Central Office. Discussed at CPAC when first announced via the Governor’s 2020 state of the state address, the Catskills region is now convening a group to look at Catskill issues with regard to increased visitation and heavy use (the CAG). Many people were considered for representation on this group, it was then narrowed down to a manageable size.
