Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail Master Plan Ecological Surveys & Review

Great Ecology is providing ecological restoration consulting services for the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail (HHFT) project, a proposed 7.5-mile linear park located between Beacon and Cold Spring, NY that will run parallel to the Hudson River. The goal of the project is to provide greater access to the Hudson River and Highlands by creating a park and trail system that connects to existing trails, designed with a focus on ecological restoration and resilience.

Our team is conducting natural resources assessments, wetland delineations, and tree surveys and assessments to document the existing habitats and site conditions. In addition, Great Ecology is reviewing the proposed master plan documents to recommend strategies to protect, enhance, and restore the habitat and natural resources within the park. These activities contribute to the overall park design and implementation of the Master Plan for the HHFT.
