September 2007 Recommendations for the Transfer of City-Owned Properties Containing Wetlands PREFACE The members of the Wetlands Transfer Task Force commend Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, the New York City Council, the Council’s Environmental Protection Committee and Committee Chair, Councilman James F. Gennaro for recognizing the importance of protecting the City’s remaining wetlands. Wetlands have a tremendous capacity to prevent flooding, reduce storm surges and improve downstream water quality. They protect and nurture our wildlife heritage – including globally significant birds and fisheries. Wetlands are also a vital and often beautiful element of the City’s rivers and estuaries, places for young and old to recreate, experience nature, and relax. Through Local Law 83, the multi-agency Wetlands Transfer Task Force (Task Force) was set up to inventory available City-owned properties containing wetlands and to make recommendations regarding their potential transfer to NYC Department of Parks & Recreation (DPR) or other agencies for protection from urban development.

    2014 NYC Parks Permits Report

    Research Permits Report 2014 Annual Report City of New York Parks and Recreation Bill de Blasio, Mayor Mitchell J. Silver, Commissioner Introduction The mission of the Natural Resources Group (NRG) is to protect, restore, expand, and manage New York City’s remnant and restored natural areas. The mission of the NYC Urban Field Station (UFS) is to improve the quality of life in urban areas by conducting and supporting research about socio-ecological systems and natural resource management. Each year, research permits are reviewed and issued by the NRG via the NYC UFS to researchers interested in conducting scientific research on NYC Parks properties. Overview In 2014, 68 research permit applications were granted by the NYC Department of Parks & Recreation Natural Resources Group. Out of all the permits granted, 24 were renewals of ongoing research projects. Research was distributed throughout the five boroughs and spanned multiple parks, habitat types and taxa. Research applicants also spanned a range of organizations including public schools, universities, environmental organizations, government agencies, and other local organizations. We also issued our first research permit to a Canadian organization, the Canadian Museum of Nature, this year.
