Right-sizing Stream Crossings for Fish, Wildlife, and Resiliency Webinar scheduled for Thursday, January 28, 2021 at 7:00 pm Eastern Time. Pre-registration required https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_IwAyCd03Sxu1dQ31yqV-Rg

Streams are often disrupted by undersized and improperly placed culverts, resulting in habitat fragmentation and increases in erosion, flooding and flood-related damage. Culverts and bridges can be designed to minimize impacts to stream habitats and aquatic connectivity. DEC recently adopted protocols to evaluate road-stream crossings for “passability” and to prioritize crossings with the greatest need of replacement and repair. DEC is also working on funding solutions to help municipalities right-size their culverts and bridges for improved connectivity and resiliency.

This training session, originally scheduled for the 2020 Local Government Conference in the highway track, will be presented by Corbin Gosier, Biologist 2 (Ecology) of the Division of Fish and Wildlife at the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation.

A big loss for Tug Hill.

It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news that one of our Venerable folks, and conservation easement landowners, George Cataldo passed away. If you had the pleasure of knowing him, you know what a kind heart he had and you also know he loved to tell a story. He lived a good, long life and loved the woods, the Independence River and Tug Hill. RIP. ... See more
