The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) will receive $1,025,108 from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) federal grant program to conduct invasive species control and habitat enhancements across the 52.1-acre Four Mile Creek Coastal Wetland in Youngstown, New York from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026. Specifically, OPRHP will expand ongoing efforts to map and control invasive plant species such as Phragmites, yellow iris and European frog's bit through the use of effective control methods. Habitat enhancements like the addition of woody structures and native plantings as well as addressing an eroding stream bank through installation of a log revetment or live crib wall will improve fish and wildlife habitat resilience. No subawards are included in this assistance agreement. The anticipated outcomes include improved habitat for focal waterbirds and reductions in sediment and nutrients entering Lake Ontario, supporting the GLRI program's goal of restoring the Great Lakes ecosystem.
