FOC Newsletter, President's Letter, Spring 2026
Hello Friends!
This edition’s cover photo does not need commentary; I Love My Park Day was one of our many Spring highlights! On that day, the wader building at the hatchery got a fresh coat of stain as did the clubhouse porch. The pollinator and the Grist Mill gardens look fantastic, and another ADA pathway was added to access the Ice House. The First Phase of the Red Trail Loop project was completed and it’s a magical hike! We welcomed our new Park manager Frank Stark and said farewell to Park Managers Patrick Hein and Ryan Albinski. We wish all the very best in their new roles at NY Parks. Work continued on the Ice House and Riverbank Community Exhibits. I look forward to holding the Open Receptions for these exhibits. It always surprises me how quickly spring turns into summer. One day we are enjoying the peepers and daffodils and in a heartbeat, the summer is upon us!
See you out there!
Janet Marie
