Callanan Industries, Inc.'s, an Oldcastle Materials company, Cordell Road Facility has been recognized by the Wildlife Habitat Council s he 2007 Rookie of the Year,which goes to one newly certified program each year, and exemplifies a superior wildlife habitat program. The Cordell Road Facility is located in the western portion of Albany County, New York near the Albany Pine Bush Preserve, a protected inland pine barren ecosystem home to the endangered Karner blue butterfly. The property consists of approximately 67 acres, of which 30 acres remain as wetland and undeveloped woodland for wildlife habitat. The wildlife team implements a number of projects to enhance wildlife habitat in vegetative communities including the original Albany pine bush ecosystem. A major component of the site’s wildlife habitat program is the creation and protection of isolated populations of numerous species of reptiles and amphibians. The team works with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to monitor species populations that frequent the wetlands on-site, including the spotted turtle. Also, the wildlife team maintains nest boxes around the site, which are monitored annually, to improve the habitat for eastern bluebird, New York’s official State bird, and others, including bank swallows. How can you become involved? Send us your site stories, photos, accomplishments and even Adobe formatted newsletters, which we will post online. As always, we are looking for ways to improve our resources. If you have any suggestions or corrections, please contact us at publications@wildlifehc.org. Member Login
