nce covered in ash and crippled trees, Minnewaska State Park Preserve’s Sam’s Point area ecology is now one year in remission from a massive brush fire. The fire which ignited on April 23, 2016 burned 1,900 acres of trees and brush, causing the park to close completely to the public until Memorial Day weekend 2016, when it reopened with limited access to only the Loop Road and Ice Caves Trails. As of recently, the Loop Road, South Gully Footpath, High Point Carriage Road, Berry Picker Footpath, Indian Rock Footpath, Ice Caves Road, Ice Caves Footpath and subsequent trail segments have been reopened for the season. These trails represent 80 percent of the park, leaving two closures remaining, according to Hank Alicandri, preserve director of land stewardship and chief ranger. “The High Point Trail and Verkeerderkill Trail are closed because they are routed across private property, the land owner doesn't currently want to allow public access onto their property,” said Alicandri. “New York parks respects private property owner rights and we are thankful to the landowners for having allowed access across their property for so many years.” The park closed off a large portion of its features preceding the brush fire in April 2016 due to ecological sensitivities.

Seeds and pollen from foreign ecologies often attached themselves to the shoes and pants of hikers. These can easily be spread into fertile seed beds if given the chance. After the fire, park staff set up 20 regeneration plots using GPS in order to track the regrowth of the charred areas. Alicandri has been looking through test plots and

intends to re-monitor all of ecological regeneration from seed this July. Park staff does not replant seeds for regeneration, but rather allows for natural regrowth and redistribution of seed. This past growing season the area experienced an exceptionally good regrowth in the understory of the soil. According to Alicandri, fortunately the park is not seeing much invasive species, but rather an abundance of native species growth. times community newspapers

View of the fire damage from the Indian Rock trail.

“People were respectful to the boundaries we set for trail closures, I think because we made a real effort to explain what the closures were for,” Alicandri said. “I think protecting the environment resonates with people.” Now that the park is almost fully reopened, Sam’s Point has seen an increase in visitation since last summer. From May 26 to June 8, the park received about 1805 outdoorsmen looking to enjoy the mountain views. Since the majority of the trails are available, from May 25 of this year to June 7, 2928 have frequented the area. “We saw the fire last year from afar and actually tried to get closer to it to get a better look, but we were stopped by police along the way,” said Kyle Castillo of Camelot, NY. “The burnt trees are really times community newspapers

interesting to see, but I’m glad most of the trails are reopened.” Castillo and friend Matthew Dominick from Mt. Beacon, New York visit Sam’s Point semifrequently to capture the beauty of the park environment using photography and film. “The Loop Road, of course, is a great trail to start on,” said Dominick. “It’s a great walk to take, in the summer but also in the fall when the leaves are changing.” In addition to its many sights and natural features, Sam’s Point also offers wildlife escapades led by experts, group hikes and informational forums.
