We have many reasons to be excited for the future of our economy. You are here amidst an incredibly exciting time in our history. Thanks to Resorts World Catskills Casino, the Kartrite Resort and Indoor Water Park, and a host of smaller lodging establishments, our storied tourism industry is back in the international spotlight, and there is more to come. Our economy is humming, thanks to major employers and industry leaders like the Center for Discovery and Kohl’s Distribution Center. And thanks to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, we continue to celebrate the touchstone of a generation: the Woodstock festival, which happened right here in 1969. Beyond these new ventures, our landscape and wide open spaces have drawn visitors for decades. In addition to the Delaware River, the Shawangunk Ridge and Catskill Mountains both stretch into Sullivan County. The Bashakill offers superb hiking opportunities, as well as breathtaking views. Our restaurants are welcoming and serve quality cuisine created from locally sourced food, and our farmers who provide that food are second to none.

    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.

  • Shawangunk Kill/Shawangunk

    Shawangunk Kill/Shawangunk

    SHAWANGUNK KILL/SHAWANGUNK GRASSLANDS Written by NYS DEC: Hudson River Estuary – Wildlife & Habitat Conservation Framework http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/remediation_hudson_pdf/hrebcf.pdf Overview The Shawangunk Kill is a relatively undisturbed Hudson River Estuary tributary. Its relatively low nutrient levels, cool water, and lack of a major water control structure allow the lower Shawangunk Kill to support a regionally rare biological community. The bedrock underlying the area easily erodes (Normanskill shale and Austin Glen formation). In accordance, surficial deposits cover all the bedrock. In addition to glacial till, deposits of fine sediments (silt and clay) from proglacial lakes and variable sediments from the current river channel are present. Ecological Significance The Shawangunk Kill supports high diversities of fish and mussels, unusual for the Hudson River Estuary corridor. Six species of freshwater mussels have been identified in this stretch of the river, including the globally rare swollen wedge mussel. Populations of the brook floater which were previously found in several areas are likely in decline (Howard et al. 2002). Wood turtle occurs in riparian habitat of the Shawangunk Kill and its tributaries. The Shawangunk Kill supports a number of rare plants including the largest known populations of beakgrass east of the Mississippi. The Shawangunk grasslands support several rare or declining grassland bird species, including Henslow’s sparrow, northern harrier, upland sandpiper, short eared owl, long eared owl, and rough legged hawk. Other grassland nesting birds likely use this site as well. The grasslands are an important raptor concentration area in the Hudson River Valley. Rare plants found in wetlands of the area include Frank’s sedge.

    THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW a Journal of Regional Studies

    SPRING 2019 THE HUDSON RIVER VALLEY REVIEW A Journal of Regional Studies The Hudson River Valley Institute at Marist College is supported by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. This issue of The Hudson River Valley Review has been generously underwritten by the following: Peter Bienstock THE POUGHKEEpsIE GRAND HOTEL SHAWANGUNK VALLEY AND CONFERENCE CENTER …centrally located in the Historic Hudson Valley CONSERVANCY midway between NYC and Albany… Conservation • Preservation • Education www.pokgrand.com From the Editors While perhaps not at first apparent, the articles in this issue share a common theme—struggle. The Dutch colonists had to carve a home out of the New World wilderness. Two centuries later, descendants of the original inhabitants of a part of that world (which wasn’t entirely wilderness after all) tried to reclaim their sovereignty. Just fifty years after that, women undertook a march from New York City to Albany to assert their right to vote and gain adherents for their cause. Finally, while the rise and fall of Albany’s lumber district perhaps doesn’t readily seem to fit the theme, here, too, a struggle took place to establish and maintain a community on and around it. This latter essay underscores the essential role of technological innovation, a concept that leads us to a second underlying theme of this issue—progress. Sometimes welcome, sometimes not, for better or worse it is always unstoppable. Call for Essays The Hudson River Valley Review will consider essays on all aspects of the Hudson River Valley — its intellectual, political, economic, social, and cultural history, its prehistory, architecture, literature, art, and music — as well as essays on the ideas and ideologies of regionalism itself.
