Restoring Big Bend: How Invasive Species Management & Prescribed Fire Can Reset the Ecological Clock
NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (NYS Parks) opened Big Bend Preserve on July 11th 2024. When restoration began in 2024, it brought with it disturbance to the Preserve in the form of heavy machinery and prescribed fire, in order to achieve an “ecological reset” against the heavy present of invasive plant species.
What has been the impact on native plant species as well as wildlife? How long will these management practices last, and at what scale?
You are invited to bring your ideas, questions and concerns and join us for a town hall style presentation and Q&A, where we will provide a closer look into the impacts of restoration efforts at the Preserve.
Speaker Bio: Jen Selfridge serves as the Restoration Ecologist for NYS Parks in the Saratoga-Capital Region, and as such, oversees habitat management at Big Bend Preserve. Additional NYS Parks staff will also be participating in the restoration discussion.
