A TV show about parks, particularly in the Finger Lakes region of central New York State. Both short videos and full-length (half hour) episodes shown on Ithaca, NY public access TV channel 13 weekly.
For shame, for me to have been a student there and always have missed this. A throwback to our pagan era, when I think they'd actually burn people (criminals and such) inside a dragon or other figure sacrificially at the end. Has to be a rite of spring, as it takes place in March, and the weather actually looks inviting for this time of year in upstate NY.
We have them in NY around Connecticut hill!Also Sighted on beranek Rd. & by the old beaches dinner as well as @ bob stackhouse transmission shop.sighted often there!
I see these on a slope on the side of the road that borders my house. I never paid attention if they die all the way to the ground to let other things thrive after the blooms are gone, or do they remain as a tall flowerless weed?
the only problem is that these "invasive" species only take root, most of the time, is because there is a lack of abundance with the native species. we need to plant native species densely so that these very aggressive plants cant take hold.
Thanks for your comment, Elizabeth. That’s an interesting idea that might be practical in small areas. However, I think it probably is not practical in some of the very extensive growths of dame’s rocket I know of in flood plain forests adjacent to wetlands, and in other woodland areas.
They may be non-native but I love them! I remember them from my childhood and I love their color and their scent and I love to see the profusion of them in the fields around my house in May and June. Seems like the bees and butterflies like them as well.
Originally we(I'm from the PNW) were to be called Cascadia or Columbia, but nationalism won out in the end... Personally I'm of the mind that I'll George was probably just another rich, warmongering, prick, but I never met the guy, so, what do I know(I don't believe everything I read, so maybe he was a good guy)... Plenty off celebrated assholes out here, like Thurston for example, the bigot that my county commemorates.
I recently discovered these growing in my backyard and know I didn’t see them last year after moving here.... I read it’s a biennial? So I guess it makes sense
What a bunch of crap, how long do these idiots think they will last without gas ? The solution to pollution is no people. Go back to where you came from if you truly want to protect the lake.
Smith Woods was much more "wild" before those old growth trees were cut down for safety reasons. I vsited there around 1980 and was totally impressed. It's still a fine example, but worry about deer pressure on the wildflowers and the growth of the new tree seedlings. I uderstand T-Burg recently removed deer from the village. I do hope fencing or a concerted effort to reduce any deeer pressure.
Was here in September of 2013 while passing through town and I just ended up cleaning up litter my entire walk through the gorge. Call it some sort of a compulsion, but I'm unable to enjoy an area if it's covered in traces of people's laziness and ignorance. Not even an area as beautiful as this one. Shame that such a beautiful park can't be managed properly. I guess the parking cone thrown in the shallow part of the river outside of the entrance should have been a warning. Literally, what is anyone there getting paid for? Get it together. Hopefully you have.
I'm sorry you had a shabby experience at this beautiful park. I've been in the park hundreds of times and I don't recall an experience like that. I encourage you to come back and visit us again sometime. In 2015 Watkins Glen State Park was voted the third favorite state park in America in the USA Today 10Best poll. Next month, the park will have a grand opening of its new entrance. Cars and the parking lot have been moved out, there is beautiful landscaping, and interpretive areas where visitors can learn more about the natural wonders ahead. Also, please take a look at my book, A Walk through Watkins Glen: Water's Sculpture in Stone at www.owlgorge.com/a-walk-through-watkins-glen.html
Tony I have subscribed to your RU-vid Channel.. very interesting videos you have posted.. You may be interested in an interview I did with Brooks De Wetter-Smith and Alan Anderson about their video "Iceblink ". Brooks and I created a video called "Southern Ice" some years ago and it was about Antarctica and his marvelous still photos from that adventure which was presented at the NC Museum of Science in 2007. I can't send you a link but if you go to my channel you will find the video of the interview of Brooks and Alan as well as my video called "Welcome to the Dismal Swamp State Park.. feel free to share those videos on you channel if you like.. thanks, Davis
Ironically when anyone sends wooden pallets to China now, they must be treated and branded with a stamp showing it was done. To add to the EAB story, they think *_it came over in crates that transported Asian produced Automobile Wiring harnesses!_*
Keep up your call to arms Mr.Ingraham! Ash, which is the top organism of many local ecosystems can be easily saved with "Preventative" treatments until the EAB cause the extinction of their only food source, which is usually 12-15 years after first regional discovery of Borers. Green Ash has lifespan of 300, and White Ash 600 years, and had been the second most popular tree to plant after Elm. Ash is the last surviving species our early settlers planted, and still can be seen growing in any communities over 100 years old. Even today with an age of 100-160, they are only teenagers! Landscaper Jens Jensen and Frank Lloyd Wright turned other continents on to locally evolved Chicago American Ash a Century ago by utilizing it as a main living ingredient for their world renowned _Prairie Style movement._ That is how some cities in Russia were motivated to plant imported Ash in their communities, which today are also getting hit by EAB. Ironically, the ancient ash tree species of the America's is the worlds progenitor of the Fraxinus family, and crossed over to Asia & European continents during past geo-poetry events. Good luck, and collect locally evolved ash tree seeds for extinct species preservation. Scottie Ash Tree Seed. PS Here in Chicago, city easily saved 36,000 trees with tree-age injections applied every three years, while all the untreated ones have succumbed.
This is great information. Would you consider changing the license setting on this video to 'creative commons' so I can remix it and post it on my channel?
