Albany Pine Bush:

Public Bird Banding

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before the sun rises, the bird banding tent is already set up at Albany Pine Bush Preserve. Ornithologists will work all day in the late summer heat as birds begin their fall migration.

This assignment, for the Hudson River Valley Greenway, brought me in closer contact with these little guys. But it’s also always interesting to see scientists and the public — especially when they’re younger — connect over an interesting topic.

Environmental services photography assignments share a common thread. Whether they’re regulatory-driven initiatives, or projects designed to raise the profile of an agency, or to educate citizens about a particular problem or issue, these projects work to gain local support for community-based solutions. And what kid wouldn’t want to hold a small bird for a moment, then release it into the sky?

Albany Pine Bush is a designated Bird Conservation Area and home to a surprising number (given it small size) of Species of Greatest Conservation Need (species that are rare or declining).

Dam Rehabilitation, Catskills

Dam Rehabilitation

In the Catskill Mountains

 

 

 

 

A dam rehabilitation project gets underway in the Catskills.

New work for a dam rehabilitation and removal project in the Catskill mountain area of New York.

When it was built, the dam was the second-largest dam in the United States. Today, it’s an aging, high-hazard dam that holds back a large impoundment area on the Rondout Creek in Napanoch, New York. This project, along with stabilizing the dam, will rehabilitate the streambed and floodplain.

We’re providing the progress photography and videography, including aerial work, for this historic project.

The Places We Go: Wadhams

The Places We Go: Wadhams

 

Wadhams, New York, in Essex County

 

 

 

Funny name, lovely landscape in this out-of-the-way corner of New York State. 

In a tucked-away corner of northern New York State, we delivered progress photography and videography (including aerials) for a water treatment project in Wadhams, a former mill town on the banks of the Boquet River. I’m always happy to do small projects like this one, especially when they lead to old-school or historic places I’d never find by accident. 

Not much there, not even the small-town basics. But the going up there is pretty, ambling along valleys between the Adirondack foothills and Lake Champlain. And if you’re there on any day except Monday and Tuesday, you can stop in at the Dogwood Bread Company — an oasis of conviviality, warm bread and fine cups of coffee.

Allman Environmental Services Photography provides progress photography and videography services (including aerial) to environmental projects of any scale and anywhere in the United States. We love the jobs that are challenging, out of the way or in difficult terrain. We’d love to hear about your project.
