Ecological Restoration Projects Advance Habitat Recovery in Pennsylvania and New York
Conservation efforts in Pennsylvania and New York have led to notable ecological restorations over the past decade. In Pennsylvania, the removal of a century-old dam on Moosic Mountain revealed Sterry Creek's original channel, aiding natural floodplain recovery. Researchers at Tannersville Cranberry Bog cleared shrubs to support rare native plants. Meanwhile, in New York's Cortland County, culvert and stream projects improved fish passage by transforming severe barriers into minor ones, enhancing aquatic connectivity and ecosystem health.
