CTC Annual Meeting and Luncheon Reports, Elections, a Wards, and a History of Connecticut Hill January 29, 2006 Service and Gene Newsletter of the Cayuga Trails Club Founded in 1962 "to explore, enjoy, and preserve wild lands and places of natural beauty... " January- February 2006 Winter Edition Vol. 46, Nos. 1 & 2 CTC Annual Meeting and Luncheon Reports, Elections, A wards, and a History of Connecticut Hill January 29, 2006 see page 2 for details Service and Generosity Volunteer Group Cleans Up Trailhead for the Rest of Us by Gary Mallow Trails Chairman number of hikers have noticed the unofficial dump site that has developed where the Abbott Loop crosses Bald Hill Road in Danby State Forest. As these things go, this one was typical: Someone nearby finds a quiet spot out in the A state forest just off a back road and dumps trash at no cost and without penalty to him. The next irresponsible person who drives by sees the trash and follows suit. Pretty soon you have an eyesore in the backwoods that hikers, cross­ country skiers, and trail runners have to confront every time they traverse that section. Cornell student Carlos Miguel Rymer decided to do something about this particular dump site. He organized a cleanup date, enlisted CTC member and trail adopter Herb Engman to bring his pickup, and brought two other volunteers along to help. The small group loaded the pickup three times full of trash and dropped those loads at the county transfer station. They moved a portion of the stuff from the backwoods area to a nearby road junction for the Danby authorities to pick up. There . aren't a lot of people who would have taken on a disagreeable chore like this. And there are few ways to acknowledge their public service and generosity in giving up a good portion of a Saturday to clean up our environment and make the hiking experience for the rest of us more enjoyable. Thank you Carlos, Herb, and volunteers! We appreciate everything you did for us and the environment! Two Trail Sections Need Adoption by Gary Mallow Trails Chairman here are two sections of the Finger Lakes Trail in our area in need of adoption for maintenance. Trail adopters agree to hike their section at least three times a year to keep the trail clear and blazed in both directions. This usually involves T picking up deadfall, especially in the spring and after heavy storms, and pruning back brush and branches. Most adopters feel a sense of ownership after they've worked their section for a time. If this sounds like you, please contact me at [email protected]. The available sections are in the Town of Danby in Tompkins County (about a 20-minute drive on paved roads from Ithaca) and in Schuyler County (about a 30-minute drive from Ithaca, the last bit on an all-season gravel road). Co-President's Report by John Andersson -.. •• ount your blessings, my mother would advise me when I was a child. I didn't really know what she meant because I wasn't experienced. Now I am older and a lot more experienced. Now . Cit is easier to see the good things. This is the time of year a lot of us reflect on these and send cards to those we appreciate. This is my Christmas card (or Holiday Greetings, if you want PC) to all you trails folks who have a part in the trail blessings I enjoyed in 2005: the CTC Executive Board and committee members, the trail maintainers, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, the Finger Lakes National Forest, state parks people, trail-permitting landowners, the Finger Lakes Trail Conference (FLTC) board and officers, the Finger Lakes Land Trust, Eastern Mountain Sports, all the hikers who respect the decades of work of those who created the trails for , us, and all you dues-paying CTC members. Thank you for the opportunities and experiences in 2005 ! And I wish you all a wonderful 2006! I hope to see many of you at our annual meeting (see information below). You will hear reports from the committees and see who is awarded the Oscars! Come and mingle with the folks who worked especially hard in 2005: Sigrid and Jim Connors for the cross-Schuyler County hike series and the spring FLTC meeting, Gary Mallow for his outstanding job as trails chairman this past year, Jennifer Wilson for all the great hikes, Tom Reimers for the newsletter, Phil Dankert for getting the Guide to Trails to the stores, Suzanne Cohen who sends us all those reminder emails on hikes and trail work projects, and many other unsung "heroes." The days are getting a little bit longer now, so we have a few more minutes on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to enjoy the trails. I'll end with my wish to you all for 2006: Get out there on the trail and find some blessings to count! You are Invited! Cayuga Trails Club Annual Meeting & Luncheon Sunday, January 29, 2006 Ramada Inn 2310 North Triphammer Road, Ithaca, New York Cash bar at 12:00 p.m., lunch at 1 :00 p.m. This afternoon event will feature annual committee reports, election of officers for 2006, Oscar winners for distinguished service, and a presentation by local historian Neil Poppensiek titled: "Rise and Demise of the Agricultural Community on Connecticut Hill in the Last 200 Years" Neil has lived in Tompkins County most of his life, and he has never wanted to live elsewhere. He is past president and a board member of The History Center of Tompkins County and is currently vice president of the Friends of Robert H. Treman State Park. Neil holds a Master's degree in education from Elmira College. His special interests include state and local history, hiking and backpacking, and collecting old tools of agriculture. He joined the Cayuga Trails Club last spring. Connecticut Hill in southwestern Tompkins County is a popular hiking, cross-country skiing, and birding area and many miles of the Finger Lakes Trail goes over it. The luncheon will include the normal Sunday brunch buffet plus added entrees consisting of roast turkey and stuffing, sweet potatoes, veg~tar i an lasagna with white sauce, and grilled portabella mushrooms. All this for only $10.00 (the club will pay the gratuity). How can you beat that! The reservation form for this important event will be arriving in the mail soon.

  • Appendices Section
    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.
