Episode 49 of Walk in the Park TV features the Finger Lakes Land Trust's dedication of new lands, a trail,and boardwalk ("Howard's Walk") at the Roy H. Park Preserve in the Town of Dryden east of Ithaca, NY.
"This diverse, scenic, and inviting 217-acre preserve is a short drive from Ithaca, on the back roads of Dryden, and encompasses portions of an extensive forest, rolling meadows, wetlands, a rugged stretch of Six-Mile Creek along its headwaters. The preserve borders Yellow Barn State Forest, Hammond Hill State Forest, and the Cornell Old 600 Natural Area, making it an important connector in a larger array of some 8,000 acres of protected lands. The preserve adds another gem to the "Emerald Necklace," the Land Trust's initiative to create a continuous crescent of 50,000 acres of protected lands around Ithaca, and is the first major protected land linkage achieved under that initiative." http://www.fllt.org/protected_lands/protected_lands1.php?id=42
Our show continues with photos and video of the beauty of water in a gorge (Buttermilk Falls State Park), and the Cayuga Nation Picnic, part of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign this year. http://honorthetworow.org
