East Rock Park IBA (Includes Edgerton Park and South Central Regional Water Authority Lands) Important Bird Area Conservation & Management Plan East Rock Park IBA (includes Edgerton Park and South Central Regional Water Authority Lands) Hamden & New Haven, Connecticut Prepared By: FITZGERALD & HALLIDAY, INC. 416 Asylum Street Hartford, CT 06103 August 2019 East Rock Park Important Bird Area Conservation and Management Plan, New Haven/Hamden, CT Executive Summary The East Rock Park (ERP) Important Bird Area (IBA) encompasses approximately 426 acres and is comprised of East Rock Park, Edgerton Park, Eli Whitney Museum, and the adjacent South Central Regional Water Authority property in the East Rock and Whitneyville neighborhoods of New Haven and Hamden, CT. The Mill River and a large trap rock ridge bisect the central portion of the IBA in an approximate north to south orientation. East Rock Park, Edgerton Park, and the Eli Whitney Museum are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This IBA was identified as such by AudubonCT in 2001 because it met the following Program Criteria: Presence of High Conservation Priority Bird Species; Unique or Representative Habitat; and Exceptional Concentrations of Migratory Landbirds. Spring migratory movements of songbirds through the IBA are renown. Despite the importance of the park for avifauna, the park is also valued by several stakeholders as a valuable recreational resource and destination. There are a number of notable natural features within the IBA including the mature landscaping features of Edgerton Park, the tidal Mill River, the basalt ridgeline, and the varied habitats within the IBA. The forested habitat block within the IBA contains stands of deciduous, coniferous, and mixed forests, the composition of which changes with position along the toposequence. Inland vegetated wetlands occur in the IBA, as do watercourse and floodplain habitats and hillside seeps. Recreational fields within the IBA are surrounded by dense thickets of both native and non-native invasive plant species. Grassy fields, open summit woodlands and balds within the IBA offer additional habitat diversity. Many of the native plants within these habitats provide valuable food, cover, or both to avifauna and other wildlife species. Still other attributes are sought by rare fauna, notably nesting Peregrine Falcons, and dozens of other species of conservation concern. The ERP IBA is also known for occasional vagrant bird species which attract throngs of birders from CT and beyond, adding to the value of the IBA as a tourist destination. A forest bird assessment, conducted independently and prior to the field observations made in support of the ERP IBA Conservation Plan, are incorporated by reference herein. The forest bird assessment identified breeding avifauna of conservation concern that prefer forest interiors, a unique habitat attribute given the urbanized landscape in which the IBA is located. Forest health within the IBA suffers from a loss of coniferous stand inclusions and little to no regeneration of understory and canopy trees. Other conservation concerns and threats identified within the IBA include feral cats and dogs off-leash, Illegal dumping or disposal of trash, various pathogenic diseases and pests to which our northeastern flora and fauna are exposed, competition with invasive plant species – many of which have significant coverages within the IBA and continue to spread rapidly, anthropogenic disturbance, and deer over- browse. Despite options to address or manage many of these threats, IBA land stewardship suffers from a lack of funding and staff to implement comprehensive land stewardship measures beyond general maintenance. However, the IBA is fortunate to have a lengthy list of stakeholders that can be engaged to support the park’s department staff. Recommended conservation actions identified as necessary to protect the IBA’s habitats and habitat attributes include invasive plant control, tree care and forest management measures, proper waste management, continued comprehensive stewardship/outreach efforts, and vegetation/habitat restoration/conservation measures within the IBA. Recommended priority actions for the protection of rare species, habitat matrices improvement, invasive plant and deer management measures, outreach and education measures, and habitat connectivity measures are provided herein as are measures to evaluate success. i East Rock Park Important Bird Area Conservation and Management Plan, New Haven/Hamden, CT TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION

  • Connecticut Connections: the Places That Teach Us About Historical Archaeology
    CONNECTICUT_CONNECTIONS_THE_PLACES_THAT 2/28/2017 4:13 PM Connecticut Connections: The Places That Teach Us About Historical Archaeology LUCIANNE LAVIN Institute for American Indian Studies To many people the word “archaeology” invokes images of Egyptian pyramids, Aztec temples, the treasures of ancient Rome. If they are aware of North American archaeology, they usually picture archaeology sites far west of New England – 10,000-year-old early man sites on the Plains or the Southwestern Pueblo cliff dwellers. They rarely consider Connecticut as a center of important archaeological activity. But it is! As the preceding articles on Connecticut archaeology aptly illustrate, our state’s rich multi-cultural heritage is reflected and informed by its archaeology sites. Connecticut contains thousands of prehistoric, historic, industrial, and maritime archaeological sites created by the ancestors of its various ethnic residents. Many are thousands of years old. Because Connecticut History is specifically an history journal, I will restrict my discussion to post- European contact archaeology sites. Archaeology sites provide insights on fascinating and important stories about Connecticut that often are not found in local history books. Domestic, commercial, and industrial archaeology sites provide clues to the diverse lifestyles of Connecticut’s residents through time, their community relationships and events, and the cultural changes that modified those lifestyles and connections. But where can one go to learn about Connecticut archaeology? The best places are the sites themselves. Plan an excursion to some of these wonderful archaeology localities where you can spend enjoyable, quality time with family and friends while learning about a specific aspect of local, regional, and even national history.

  • Ridgelines Spring 2013
    Newsletter of the West Rock Ridge Park Association Spring 2013 Regicide Drive to summit view will open to motorists on Sat., May 25! FROM THE PRESIDENT I had the pleasure of attending Friends of Connecticut State Parks Day at the state capitol on March 20th, together with Bill Doheny, past WRRPA president and current board member, and my wife, Amy. This year is the 100-year anniversary of Connecticut state parks, and there is a wonderful centennial photo display in the Legislative Office Building concourse. We spoke with representatives from 21 other volunteer groups that support our state parks, with DEEP Commissioner Dan Esty, and with our State Senator, Joseph Crisco, who has long been a strong supporter of West Rock Ridge State Park. Senator Crisco was one of the first legislators to join a new initiative supporting state parks and has “adopted” West Rock Ridge State Park; we are hopeful that our state representatives will join him in this initiative. Legislators who adopt a park agree to work with the park’s volunteer organization and with the DEEP to publicize the park and help advocate for the needs of the state park system. State parks are one of Connecticut’s most valuable natural assets. According to a 2011 UConn Economic Study, Connecticut State Parks attract over $1 billion and support over 9,000 jobs each year. Only 74 field staff are currently available to manage the 107 State Parks, and 15 of those staff are eligible for retirement in July, 2013. Because of rescissions and continued attrition, several parks will either not be opened or will have services reduced in 2013.

    Connecticut Unscathed: Victory in The Great Narragansett War (King Philip’s War), 1675-1676 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Major Jason W. Warren, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: John F. Guilmartin Jr., Advisor Alan Gallay, Kristen Gremillion Peter Mansoor, Geoffrey Parker Copyright by Jason W. Warren 2011 Abstract King Philip’s War (1675-1676) was one of the bloodiest per capita in American history. Although hostile native groups damaged much of New England, Connecticut emerged unscathed from the conflict. Connecticut’s role has been obscured by historians’ focus on the disasters in the other colonies as well as a misplaced emphasis on “King Philip,” a chief sachem of the Wampanoag groups. Although Philip formed the initial hostile coalition and served as an important leader, he was later overshadowed by other sachems of stronger native groups such as the Narragansetts. Viewing the conflict through the lens of a ‘Great Narragansett War’ brings Connecticut’s role more clearly into focus, and indeed enables a more accurate narrative for the conflict. Connecticut achieved success where other colonies failed by establishing a policy of moderation towards the native groups living within its borders. This relationship set the stage for successful military operations. Local native groups, whether allied or neutral did not assist hostile Indians, denying them the critical intelligence necessary to coordinate attacks on Connecticut towns. The English colonists convinced allied Mohegan, Pequot, and Western Niantic warriors to support their military operations, giving Connecticut forces a decisive advantage in the field.

Some historians have emphasized a continental approach and believe research should look west, toward the people that inhabited places outside the traditional “thirteen colonies” that would become the United States, such as the Gulf Coast or the Great Lakes region.
