2016 Annual Report - Teatown · PDF fileOUR COMMUNITY TO LIFELONG ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP....

OUR MISSION IS TO INSPIRE OUR COMMUNITY TO LIFELONG ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.

ANNUAL REPORT 2016

2016 has marked yet another year in which Teatown has proudly expanded its size, reach, and prom-inence in both the environmental science and education communities.

I’d like to recognize some of the major achievements made by the Teatown community this year.

At 1,000 acres, Teatown is the largest privately-owned preserve in Westchester County.

Over 10,000 visitors hike our 15 miles of trails, and our educational

programs reach over 20,000 adults and children each year.

We are launching a new visual identity, reflected in the design of this annual report.

As Teatown’s role in our community has evolved, so must our ability to reach our audience and accomplish our mission in new and compelling ways. This exciting transition helps us do just that: inspire a new genera-tion of environmental stewards, and grow our community at home and throughout the region.

32 Teatown 2016 Annual Report For the year ending June 30, 2016

Teatown has expanded its outstanding staff.In 2016 we made two prestigious appointments to our senior staff: Dr. Amy Karpati as the Director of Science and Programs, and Jane Simoni Cooke as the Director of Marketing and Development. Teatown also welcomed three bilin-gual staff members including two environmental educators and a marketing coordinator. These new appointments will allow Teatown to expand its scope and impact in the coming years.

The distinguished Teatown Envi-ronmental Science Academy (TESA) celebrated its 4th year.TESA, limited to twelve high school students on a competitive basis, sees each student complete an indepen-dent environmental research project on the preserve.

Earlier this year, three TESA alumni received recognition in the Intel Science Talent Search, one of the country’s top high school science competitions. Two were semi-final-ists and one was a finalist. Two of the three projects were conducted during the TESA program and through continuation of the project after the program ended.

Our environmental education programs impacted over 2,400 under-resourced students.Thanks to the generous support of our community, our No Child Left Inside (NCLI) scholarship program has helped cover fees and transpor-tation costs for districts that would

otherwise be unable to provide these valuable education opportu-nities. In a time where connection to nature has never been more crit-ical to the future, we consider this accomplishment invaluable.

Teatown hosted a record setting EagleFest.Over 4,000 visitors attended the event this year! The educational bird shows filled to overflow capacity at each of the seven programs. Our winter festival has been called an “economic driver” by Senator Terrence Murphy. The celebration of the eagle’s return to the Hudson Valley included more food options, as well as live music for the first time.

All of this work would simply not be possible without Teatown’s generous donors, the dedicated board, outstanding staff, and hard-working volunteers. I celebrate the achievements we have made this year, and look forward to the continued success of this incredible organization.

I invite you to visit Teatown: explore its natural beauty, hike the trails, attend the educational programs, and join us in our mission to inspire our community to lifelong environ-mental stewardship.

With gratitude,

Howard Permut Board Chair

4 Teatown 2016 Annual Report

Monitoring our changing forestsTo understand our changing forests and the benefits of management, Teatown scientists have installed over a dozen plots for short-term and long-term monitoring. Data collected include tree species, diam-eter and canopy dieback; seedling species, density and height; and coverage of herbaceous plants. The plots will be reevaluated every year. Above: The Barred owl (Strix varia) is one of our forest inhabitants.

Monitoring survivability and deer browse of red oak seedlingsTeatown interns planted red oak seedlings across the preserve to monitor survivability and deer browse. Half of the seedlings were fenced to prevent deer browse. Over the course of three months, 84% of unfenced seedlings were browsed by deer. Survivability of fenced seedlings was high with a 92% survival rate.

Teatown Environmental Science Academy (TESA) continues to nurture young scientists Eleven high school students from seven Westchester schools and the Hong Kong International School attended the Teatown Environmental Science Academy (TESA), a field-based course that teaches students the tools and techniques scientists use to study environmental issues.

TESA provides invaluable experi-ence for students interested in the environment by exposing them to the techniques and technology that scientists use to study today’s pressing conservation issues.

Three TESA alum received recog-nition in the Intel Science Talent Search, one of the country’s top high school science competitions. Two students were semi-finalists in the competition, and one was a finalist. Congratulations to these young scientists!

Habitat conservation and restoration remain at the core of who Teatown is, and who we have been for the past 50 years.

Fisher research continuesTeatown’s fisher (Martes pennanti) study took place in southern West-chester this year to continue our ongoing research. No fisher were detected in the southern part of the County, but other wildlife such as coyotes and fox were observed.

Teatown scientists present at natural history conferenceTeatown scientists presented their work at the Northeastern Natural History Conference in Springfield, MA again this year. Work presented included: “The Impacts of Beaver (Castor canadensis) in Suburban Ecosystems: Friend or Foe?” and “Ecosystem Services and Preserve

Management: The Human Dimensions.”

Environmental Monitoring and Management Alliance (EMMA) completes its strategic planning process This will help the group fulfill its mission to develop a regionally-co-ordinated ecological monitoring network that informs sustainable management practices and natural resource conservation through scientific research while engaging the public in environmental protec-tion. In addition, Teatown received a grant from the Land Trust Alliance to grow EMMA’s research and educa-tion and outreach programs.

Cliffdale meadowsFollowing Teatown’s meadow management plan, the Cliffdale meadows were mowed in late winter. Monitoring for the invasive black swallowwort (Cynanchum loui-seae) took place in early spring and was controlled later in the season.

Invasive plant managementThree summer interns worked on invasive plant management across Teatown. Some of the species controlled included oriental bitter-sweet (Celastrus orbiculatus), Japa-nese barberry (Berberis thunbergii), black swallowwort (Cynanchum loui-seae) and oriental photinia (Photinia villosa)

Thoughtful and sound stewardship of open space is key to ensuring regional sustainability.

New in the trails

A new 600 foot segment of trail opened on Twin Lakes Trail.

Two new 12-foot bridges were installed on the trails we manage, including one on Briarcliff-Peekskill trail and one on Twin Lakes Trail.

A 30-foot section of boardwalk was repaired and 75 feet of trail hardening with stone was installed on the Lakeside and Twin Lakes trails.

Mitigating beaver impactsStaff and volunteers have wrapped over 150 trees around the lakes to reduce the number of trees removed by beaver. Volunteers also fortified the Wildflower Island fence to keep beaver off of the Island and kept the dam spillways clear of debris left by beaver.

Restoring Wildflower WoodsInvasive plants continue to be controlled in Wildflower Woods as we work to restore the area to a healthy forest habitat.

Teatown Lake damTeatown Lake dam’s embankment was resurfaced to ensure dam integ-rity in the event of a flood.

Trail maintenanceAll trails at Teatown, Kitchawan Preserve, Briarcliff-Peekskill from Spring Valley Road to Rte 134, and Teatown-Kitchawan Trail were inspected and regular maintenance was performed monthly.

A number of Teatown’s hiking trails have been rerouted in order to better protect sensitive habitats, reduce fragmentation, avoid erosion, and enhance hiker experience.

Inspiring a love of nature

Nature GirlsThe second year of this innovative program reached thirty 5th grade girls in Tarrytown and Ossining through a supportive environmental program that fosters creativity, science skills and inquiry.

Through team building, self-dis-covery and explorations in nature, girls developed confidence, made new friends and delved deeply into outdoor learning.

570Number of children that attended our high energy Natural Science Summer Day Camp. Campers learned from conservation scien-tists, participated in citizen science projects, investigated habitats from swamps to meadows and enjoyed free play in nature.

We’re engaging with the larger community through local outreach and off-site learning.

2400Number of students who attended programs at Teatown through No Child Left Inside, which provides support for under-resourced districts. Scholarships are made available to schools to cover transportation costs or fee for service.

Kathryn W. Davis RiverWalk CenterAt the Kathryn W. Davis River-Walk Center in Sleepy Hollow, our programs focused on river ecology and watershed health.

2Number of new part-time bilingual educators at Teatown, thanks to a grant we received from the Land Trust Alliance to support our outreach to local communities. We’re now better able to serve students and audiences from diverse backgrounds.

Nurtured by Nature The fourth year of this program reached an average of 123 students during each of fifteen school visits.

To assist the four participating Head Start centers in furthering environmental awareness, Teatown provided seasonal curriculum and three resource boxes filled with science tools and materials designed to enhance the delivery of science content.

Three hands-on teacher trainings focused on using the materials in the resource boxes and making connec-tions to other areas of study.
