This Stewardship and management plan for the Huyck Preserve is based on a set of goals found in the Preserve’s mission, vision and guidance within it Strategic Plan. The Preserve’s mission is to preserve the natural beauty of the Rensselaerville Falls, the watershed of Lake Myosotis and surrounding lands, to conduct long-term research on natural systems… and to appreciate this effort through innovative, field-based educational programs for students, teachers and the community. The Preserve strives to be a nationally recognized organization committed to long-term protection of the Earth’s regional and global biodiversity. The Strategic Plan directs the Preserve’s Board of Directors to prepare this Stewardship Plan through the Preserve’s Land Conservation – Stewardship committee and the Scientific Advisory Committee.
