Brook Trout Survey Team:

  • Clearwater And Adirondack TU volunteers completed a second season surveying for brook trout in several Adirondack and surrounding area streams where their status was unknown. Thirty-four sites were studied with five of them yielding brook trout. Some participants also became quite adept at catching creek chubs.  An estimated 317 hours were volunteered by the following great people from Clearwater TU Mike and Kim Walchko; Heath Clayson; Doug Howard; Ron Bellisario; Bob Thomas; Bill Borthwick; Mike Casler; and Jan Panek.

    Sample of what was caught:

  • John Braico of Adirondack Chapter and Art Coleman of the Clearwater TU chapter have completed the Brook Trout survey work for the season. With the help of Mark Hays we were able to complete work at Kelley Park on the Kayderosseras and have done more sites on the Kayderosseras. With the help of Stan Duncan, Ron Bellisario, Mark Hays, and Doug Howard we were able to use two teams on the Mettawee in Granville to accomplish twice as much.  There is also more work to be done on the Mettawee. 

If anyone would like to help with the survey work, please email Art Coleman.

Handicap Accessible Areas in New York State

  • New York State abounds in accessible by wheelchair areas to hike, bird watch, fish or generally just get away from it all. Below are three links with hundreds of places persons who find it a little tough to get around would enjoy immensely. Take a moment this summer to take a person with mobility issues out for a bit of nature. You and they will be glad you did.
