It should. By the early twentieth century, the fruitful farmlands of Sullivan and Ulster Counties became home to hundreds of hotels and bungalow colonies that served the Jews of New York City. Yet these hotels were unlike most in America, for they not only represented an escape from the confines of the ghetto of the Lower East Side, but they also retained a distinct religious nature. The Jewish dietary laws were followed in most of the colonies and resorts, and religious services were also a part of daily life.

  • Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This Blue Goose, Designed by J.N
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Wallkill River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan February 2009 This blue goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fi sh, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people. The Service manages the 97-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 548 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 69 national fi sh hatcheries and 81 ecological services fi eld stations. The agency enforces federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally signifi cant fi sheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fi shing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes. The plans do not constitute a commitment for staffi ng increases, operational and maintenance increases, or funding for future land acquisition.

  • Open Space Preservation Partners in Sussex County
    Open Space Preservation Partners in Sussex County Photo by Donna Traylor “We in Hampton Township would like to help other communities get their (open space ) programs going.” Mayor Philip Yetter of Hampton Township at a municipal outreach meeting on April 30, 2003. Each government agency or non-profit organization that manages land, or represents a partnership opportunity for funding, preservation or land stewardship and management in Sussex County is presented. The information in this section will help Sussex County enlist partners to help achieve the goals of the Open Space and Recreation Plan. The section separates agencies and programs into two groups—landowners and non- landowners. The following information is provided for many of these organizations: • Overview - Discusses the mission and role of the agency with a brief description of the lands they manage. • Funding opportunities and grant programs – Provides a description of funding and grant programs administered by the agency, along with contact information. • Acquisition partnership opportunities –Derived from two meetings held as part of the open space planning process. Land areas with potential for preservation partnerships with government agencies or non-profits are discussed in the context of each agency’s land holdings and any future expansions of the holdings. The meeting with nonprofit land conservation organizations was held on January 30, 2003. The meeting with public land managers was held on February 13, 2003. A complete description of these meetings appears in the companion document to the Plan, “Summary of the Outreach Process for the 2003 Sussex County Open Space and Recreation Plan.” • Stewardship partnering opportunities – Addresses stewardship programs and opportunities to work with other agencies on ecological and land management issues.
