Restoring Fair Haven’s Natural Havens | Albany News

Fair Haven Beach State Park is on a mission to reclaim its natural beauty—pulling back invasive invaders like Japanese knotweed and water chestnut to restore over 300 acres of dunes, wetlands, and forests. With a $200K grant fueling the effort, crews are planting native beach grass to stabilize dunes and protect turtle nesting grounds, aiming to slash invasive coverage to under 5% by 2030. This isn’t just about looks—it’s about preserving ecosystems for wildlife and visitors alike, with work set to continue through 2027.
