  • A Characterization of the Riparian Corridor of the Oaks Creek Blueway Trail with Emphasis on Otsego Land Trust Properties
    A characterization of the riparian corridor of the Oaks Creek Blueway Trail with emphasis on Otsego Land Trust properties Nicole Pedisich1 and Donna Vogler2 INTRODUCTION The Otsego Land Trust Blueway is a series of Land Trust owned and protected parcels that provide fishing, hiking, paddling, bird watching, and educational opportunities from Canadarago Lake to the Susquehanna River including Brookwood Point on Otsego Lake. (Otsego Land Trust 2014). The trail consists of Fetterly Forest, Deowongo Island, Oaks Creek Preserve, Crave, Parslow Road, Greenough Road, and Compton Bridge. For this project, an assessment of the riparian vegetation communities of Oaks Creek was conducted along a section of the Blueway Trail starting in Schuyler Lake and ending in Cattown. More in-depth characterizations of plant communities were done at Oaks Creek Preserve, the Crave property, and Parslow Road Conservation Area. Oaks Creek is a stream located in Otsego County, NY. It flows from Canadarago Lake southeast into the Susquehanna River, a distance of approximately 13.8 miles. (Hingula 2004). A majority of the stretch of stream assessed is state-regulated freshwater wetlands (Figure 1, NYSDEC). Oaks Creek Preserve is a 28-acre parcel located along its namesake between Schuyler Lake and Oaksville. Downstream are Crave, a parcel recently acquired by the Otsego Land Trust and Parslow Road Conservation Area, an 86-acre parcel located on the northern edge of Oaksville running a half-mile along Oaks Creek (Figure 2). 3 1 BFS Intern, summer 2015. Current affiliation: SUNY College at Oneonta. Funding for this project was provided by the Otsego Land Trust. 2 Professor.

Sources of NPS, being so diffuse and variable, will often require multi-agency involvement to remediate the existing water pollution problems. Understanding that the responsibility and interest in water quality issues are represented by a wide range of parties, a committee was formed and is known as the Otsego County Water Quality Coordinating Committee (the Committee) and functions as a subcommittee of the Otsego County Soil and Water Conservation District. The Committee is responsible for the preparation of the Otsego County Non-point Source Water Quality Strategy. The Strategy attempts to ensure that the individual efforts of local, county, state, and federal agencies regarding water quality programs and educational outreach events are coordinated for maximum effectiveness.
