Conservation

Here are some of the projects that we are currently working on:

  • Redd Surveys
    • Redd surveys are completed in the fall – we look for where the brook trout are nesting in local streams
  • Poestenkill / Quackenkill Creek Restoration Area –
    • This project is intended to reduce streambank erosion and improve habitat at the confluence of the Quackenkill and the Poestenkill in the Hudson River watershed.
  • Quackenkill Streambank Stabilization
    • Is part of the above Restoration Project in conjunction with Rensselaer County Soil and Water

“As you go through life, you meet different groups of people, but in politics you meet a different group of people all together. But there’s a special group of people who I think without any doubt are superlative: the fellow fly fishers we’ve met around the world.” – President Jimmy Carter
