What s new for Genesee River kayakers this spring and summer? New signage aids adventures
Visitors to the river will notice something new this spring and summer, a series of mile markers and reflective signs to help guide kayakers
Special to The Spectator
It’s nearly kayaking season, and the Genesee River is more accessible than ever before.
Visitors to the river will notice something new this spring and summer a series of mile markers and reflective signs to help guide kayakers on their Genesee River adventures.
The signage was installed late in the 2020 kayaking season. Arrowed takeout signs now alert kayakers of approaching Genesee River Wilds access sites, with markers indicating how many miles remain until the next takeout.
Genesee Valley Conservancy receives $12.3M to protect farmland
The Express
Six family farms in the Genesee Valley will soon be protected following grant awards announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The funding through the Farmland Protection Implementation Grants (FPIG) program will allow the Genesee Valley Conservancy to purchase 25 conservation easements on highly productive farmland across three counties and eight towns in the Genesee Valley.
Protecting these farms will ensure their highly productive soils remain available for agricultural use for generations to come and that the families farming these lands will be able to continue their business without losing their land to subdivision or development.
