  • The Bear Report Fall 2009 a MESSAGE from the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JIM HALL 400 Years Ago Henry Hudson Passed Through Our Hudson Valley Noting Its Grandeur
    The Bear Report Fall 2009 A MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JIM HALL 400 years ago Henry Hudson passed through our Hudson Valley noting its grandeur. Efforts to protect and invest in that magnificence have continued to be a priority of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission since its inception. Our founding families, the Perkinses, the Harrimans, and the Rockefellers created the standard of excellence we resolve to provide each year to over nine million park visitors. There is no shortage of calls for a return to nature and to that end, the revitalization of our State Parks continues to be PIPC’s top priority. Many of our facilities were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and the Works Progress Administration (WPA) generations ago. Their efforts remind us that when you invest in parks everyone feels better. Undeterred by budget cuts and financial uncertainty, we will continue to find creative ways to raise funds, awareness, and opportunities in order for the Palisades Interstate Parks system to flourish and remain the glorious resource it has been for a century. ~ Jim Hall ~ THE CONSERVANCY HONORS The Perkins Family On Thursday, June 4, 2009 the Palisades Parks Conservancy was privileged to honor the Perkins family, long considered the first family of the Commission. Longtime Hudson River Valley residents, they have blazed a path of philanthropy and action that has yielded dozens of parks, museums, cultural centers, farms, monuments, amusements, and the PIPC Group Camp concept that has served tens of thousands of children of all ages for nearly a century. Their belief in nature as the best medicine of all has had a ripple effect worldwide since George W.

  • Chapter 7 Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Resources Planning Base Studies Village of Rye Brook, New York
    Chapter 7 Recreation, Open Space and Cultural Resources Planning Base Studies Village of Rye Brook, New York CHAPTER 7 RECREATION, OPEN SPACE AND CULTURAL RESOURCES 7.1 Overview The Village of Rye Brook has close to 3,000 acres of open space, which may be found in public parks and schools, along parkways and natural waterways, at privately-owned country clubs, and within housing developments and corporate parks. These areas are variably designated for both active and passive recreation, open or limited access, or for natural resource conservation. Rye Brook’s parks and open spaces serve as places of recreation and respite, as community gathering places, centers of learning, and as reflections of its culture and history. Municipal parks and open space account for approximately 34.7% of total land area in the Village of Rye Brook, approximately 0.25 acres per resident. Residents also benefit from nearby regional parks and facilities owned and operated by neighboring municipalities. The Village is located in a region that is rich in recreational re- sources. Its neighbors within Westchester include the City of Rye, the Village of Port Chester, the Town of North Castle and the Town of Harrison, which provide a variety of both public and private rec- reational opportunities. The Village’s location on the Connecticut state border affords Rye Brook residents access to a significant num- ber of out-of-state parks, historic sites and nature preserves. A. Recreational Resources Public parks provide a large portion of the outdoor recreational re- sources within the Village of Rye Brook; however, other opportuni- ties for outdoor recreation include: Country clubs Walking paths Trailway routes Community centers Schools B.

  • A Short History of Poughkeepsie's Upper
    A Short History of Poughkeepsie’s Upper Landing Written by Michael Diaz Chapter 1: Native Americans, the Dutch, and the English When Henry Hudson and his crew first sailed past what is now the City of Poughkeepsie in 1609, they sailed into a region that had been inhabited for centuries by a mixture of Algonquin-speaking peoples from the Mahican, Lenape, and Munsee cultures. The people living closest to the waterfall called “Pooghkepesingh” were Wappinger, part of the Lenape nation. The Wappinger likely had ample reason to settle near the Pooghkepesingh falls – the river and the small stream that ran to it from the falls provided good places to fish, and the surrounding hills offered both protection and ample opportunities to hunt. As the Dutch colony of New Netherland took shape along the banks of the Hudson River, the Dutch largely bypassed the river’s east bank. The Dutch preferred settling on the river’s mouth (now New York City), its northern navigable terminus (today’s Albany), and landings on the western bank of the Hudson (such as the modern city of Kingston). As such, Europeans did not show up in force near the Pooghkepesingh falls until the late 17th century. By that time, the Dutch had lost control of their colony to the English. It was a mix of these two groups that started building what is now the city of Poughkeepsie. On May 5, 1683, a Wappinger named Massany signed a deed giving control of the land around the Pooghkepesingh falls to two Dutch settlers, Pieter Lansingh and Jan Smeedes, who planned to build a mill on the small creek running from the falls.

  • Ecological Communities of New York State
    Ecological Communities of New York State by Carol Reschke New York Natural Heritage Program N.Y.S. Department of Environmental Conservation 700 Troy-Schenectady Road Latham, NY 12110-2400 March 1990 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The New York Natural Heritage Program is supported by funds from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and The Nature Conservancy. Within DEC, funding comes from the Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Division of Lands and Forests. The Heritage Program is partly supported by funds contributed by state taxpayers through the voluntary Return a Gift to Wildlife program. The Heritage Program has received funding for community inventory work from the Adirondack Council, the Hudson River Foundation, the Sussman Foundation, U.S. National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service (Finger Lakes National Forest), and each of the seven New York chapters of The Nature Conservancy (Adirondack Nature Conservancy, Eastern New York Chapter, Central New York Chapter, Long Island Chapter, Lower Hudson Chapter, South Fork/Shelter Island Chapter, and WesternNew YorJ< Chapter) This classification has been developed in part from data collected by numerous field biologists. Some of these contributors have worked under contract to the Natural Heritage Program, including Caryl DeVries, Brian Fitzgerald, Jerry Jenkins, Al Scholz, Edith Schrot, Paul Sherwood, Nancy Slack, Dan Smith, Gordon Tucker, and F. Robert Wesley. Present and former Heritage staff who have contributed a significant portion of field data include Peter Zika, Robert E. Zaremba, Lauren Lyons-Swift, Steven Clemants, and the author. Chris Nadareski helped compile long species lists for many communities by entering data from field survey forms into computer files.

    WESTCHESTER TRAILS ASSOC. Visit us on the web at: www.westhike.org Join our Yahoo Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/westhike SPRING HIKING SCHEDULE AND NEWSLETTER MARCH, APRIL and MAY, 2019 Hikes ratings are based on terrain (mileage is stated separately in the description). An “easy” hike is one with relatively flat terrain while “easy to moderate” adds rolling hills. A “moderate” hike has steeper grades, possibly going up and down all day, and may involve some bushwhacking or short rock scrambles (like much of Harriman Park). A “strenuous” hike has steep ascents, often with rough or difficult terrain on much of the hike (like most Schunemunk trails, Breakneck Ridge, etc.). These ratings apply during good weather. Bad weather may lead to poor footing and increase the difficulty of any hike. Hiking boots and sufficient drinking water (1-2 liters) are required on all hikes. A trail lunch should be carried unless otherwise noted. Hikers with improper footwear, without sufficient water, or who are otherwise unprepared, may be refused or turned back by the leader. Well behaved dogs on leashes are welcome if the hike is listed as “dog friendly,” but dogs are not allowed on other WTA hikes. New hikers are asked to contact the leader in advance of the hike. In fairness to yourself and others, please choose a hike that is within your abilities - contact the leader if you have any questions about the level of difficulty or experience required. All who participate in the activities of the Westchester Trails Association do so at their own risk.
