** Taking precautions with the current coronavirus, Catskill Center has decided to postpone this stakeholder meeting until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience. **

For the second of two Ashokan Rail Trail Stakeholder meetings, we hope you’ll join us on Thursday, March 26th at 6pm at the Shokan office of Ashokan Watershed Stream Management Program (AWSMP). The Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP) team is developing an invasive species management plan for the Ashokan Rail Trail and will gather input from stakeholders and discuss potential goals for invasives management along the trail corridor.

This meeting is open to all who are interested in the Ashokan Rail Trail and especially those interested in invasive species management.

Opened in the fall of 2019, the Ashokan Rail Trail (“ART”) is a shared-use recreational trail running 11.5 miles along the northern edge of the Ashokan Reservoir between Basin Road in West Hurley and Route 28A in Boiceville. The ART was developed through a partnership of the County of Ulster and the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”), which owns and operates the Ashokan Reservoir and adjacent lands. Input gathered at this and previous meeting will be used in developing an invasive species management plan for the trail corridor.

Please RSVP with Olivia at obernard@catskillcenter.org or (845) 688-3369.
