Public Presentation on Brown Trout in the Esopus Creek Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County’s Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program is hosting an informal presentation on the impact of human intervention on brown trout in the Catskills by Cornell University Department of Natural Resources graduate student T.J. Ross. Over two summers Mr. Ross and his assistants observed and documented the health and behaviors of trout populations above and below the Shandaken Portal in the Esopus Creek. His research is a part of a larger multi-year collaborative research effort on aquatic habitat in the Esopus Creek with partners from USGS, NYS DEC, and NYC DEP. Students from Ulster County Community College have also participated as summer research interns on this effort. Additional support and funding for this work has come from the Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program and Trout Unlimited. The presentation, titled “Anthropogenic stream alteration: Effects on brown trout habitat, behavior and physiology, will take place on Saturday, February 4 from 1:45 to 3:00 in the Student Lounge, Vanderlyn Hall, Ulster County Community College, 491 Cottekill Road, Stone Ridge, NY 12484. Refreshments will be served. This event is Free and open to the public. Space is limited so please RSVP by calling Bob McCormack, Cornell Cooperative Extension at (845) 688-3047, ext 3; or via email rbm232@cornell.edu The Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program promotes a coordinated approach to stream protection and management within the Ashokan Reservoir Watershed, which covers portions of Ulster and Greene Counties in New York. Towns in the watershed include: Shandaken, Olive, Hurley, Woodstock, Hunter and Lexington. The program is a collaborative effort of New York City DEP, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County and Ulster County Soil and Water Conservation District.

How’s the Water? A Presentation and Call for Volunteers
When: February 16, 2012: 7:00PM to 9:00PM
Where: Town of Esopus Library, 128 Canal St Port Ewen, N.Y. 12401
Join representatives from Riverkeeper’s Patrol Boat Program for a presentation about water quality in the Hudson River and its tributaries, including the Rondout Creek. Riverkeeper will also recruit volunteers to expand its water-quality testing program above the Eddyville Dam into the non-tidal portions of the Rondout Creek and Wallkill River. For six years, Riverkeeper’s Patrol Boat and its scientific partners have been testing the water for sewage contamination and reporting the findings to the public. Riverkeeper will present data from its Water Quality Testing Program, and discuss opportunities to improve public notification of sewage discharges and to continue making the Hudson safer for swimming, fishing and boating. Questions and discussion will follow the presentation.
For more information about the event, or volunteering, please contact Dan Shapley, Riverkeeper Membership & Events Manager, at dshapley@riverkeeper.org or 914-478-4501 x226.
