Then we head up into the sky over the region in photographs by Bill Hecht to see the spectacular foliage display on the landscape from above. In addition, we go out west to consider some fall foliage in the Great Basin and on along the Pacific Coast.

Perhaps the greatest attraction of our state parks in the Finger Lakes region and around Ithaca, NY particularly, is water and its natural works. What is it that makes water so special as a substance? Why do we love our waterfalls, our creeks, and the lakes themselves? How did water shape our region? What has happened when floods have torn through our parks?

Josh Teeter, environmental educator for the Finger Lakes State Parks, dove into these questions at the annual meeting of the Friends of Robert H. Treman State Park at the History Center of Tompkins County in Ithaca on April 8 this year.
Josh also tells about the return of the endangered peregrine falcon at Taughannock Falls State Park;
and of efforts to protect the grey petaled dragonfly at Watkins Glen State Park;
and controlling the invasive water chestnut at Fair Haven Beach Stare Park.

Photo: Lower Falls in Robert H. Treman State Park. (Some mistakenly call this Enfield Falls, which was the original name of Lucifer Falls in the upper gorge. Enfield Falls was also the name of the former hamlet in the upper park that preceded the park. The hamlet was named for that waterfall. The former Enfield Falls Hotel up there renamed the waterfall "Lucifer Falls" in the latter 1800s.)
