A gate to prevent vehicular access to the preserve beyond the parking area is allowed and may be
maintained as needed.
The trails as depicted in Appendix 1 shall be maintained as the official trail system. The trails shall be
maintained so that they are approximately 4 to 10 feet wide and passable with vegetation not to exceed six
inches in height. As needed the trails may be mowed and trimmed, fallen branches/trees that block or
partially block the trail may be removed, sections of the trails that have been damaged may be restored
and leveled using soil or wood chips, areas of the trails subject to becoming wet and muddy may be
covered with a layer of wood chips. Wood chips may also be used to reduce or eliminate the need for
regular mowing of the trails. Trail maintenance will be kept to the minimum necessary to maintain the
trails in a condition that allows the public to use the trails safely.
The trails or any sections thereof may be closed to the public should any unsafe conditions exist; for the
purposes of protecting native flora and fauna or for the Town’s Deer Management Program. Signage
denoting such closures is allowed.

Current Status Notes:
NYS DEC
Special Concern: Any native species for which a welfare concern or risk of endangerment has been
documented in New York State.(New York State DEC, 2001).
Threatened: Those designated by the DEC as likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future
throughout all or a significant portion of their range.
Endangered: Those designated by the DEC as seriously threatened with extinction.
Audubon Watch List
Yellow: This category includes those species that are declining but at a slower rate than those in the red
category. These typically are species of national conservation concern.
Red: Species in this category are declining rapidly, have very small populations or limited ranges, and face
major conservation threats. These typically are species of global conservation concern.
New York Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN)
High Priority SGCN: The status of these species is known and conservation action is urgent in the next
ten years. These species are declining and must receive timely management intervention or they are likely
to reach critical population levels in New York.
SGCN: The status of these species is known and conservation action is essential. These species are
expected to experience significant declines over the next ten years and will need management intervention
to secure their populations.
Non-SGCN Species of Potential Conservation Need: The trends in abundance and distribution of these
species are poorly known, but there is an identified threat to the species, or the species has a high level of
intrinsic vulnerability. Further research and surveys are needed to determine their actual population status.
Although not classified as SGCN, actions for their conservation will be identified and they will be included
in the State Wildlife Action Plan.
