项目陈述 
Project Statement

《索杰娜·特鲁斯（Sojourner Truth）州立公园框架计划》是一个适应性强、聚焦生物多样性的长期工具包，旨在将沿哈德逊河520英亩的废弃采石场改造成全新的州立公园。通过深入的分析和包容性的公众参与，该计划致力于推动独特土壤和地形的生态再生，揭示场地的地质、原住民、文化和工业历史，并邀请所有社区探索公园的森林、湿地以及壮丽的悬崖景观。

The Framework Plan is an adaptable biodiversity focused long-term toolkit for transforming a 520-acre abandoned quarry along the Hudson River into a new state park. Developed through robust analysis and inclusive engagement, the plan aims to amplify ongoing ecological regeneration of unique soils and landforms, reveal the many layers of the site’s geological, indigenous, cultural, and industrial history, and invite all communities of the region to explore the woodlands, wetlands, and dramatic cliffs of the park.

项目说明
Project Narrative

《索杰娜·特鲁斯（Sojourner Truth）州立公园框架计划》通过战略性培育场地特征与建立包容性通达性，指导将一个曾经的采掘型景观转变为生态再生与社会连接的空间。该计划为工业废弃地的生物多样性恢复提供了现实的示范模型。

分析与规划工作

框架计划基于全面的场地清查和分析流程开发，包括文化遗产研究、历史结构评估、场地建模、上下文制图及快速生态评估（REA）。此外，还进行了为期八个月的自然资源清查与栖息地价值评估。规划过程通过访谈、实地考察和在线活动，与社区成员、合作伙伴、非营利组织、原住民代表及政府领导人展开深入互动。这种多层次的方法确保了框架计划分析与规划的全面性和准确性。

背景

项目位于金斯顿市及毗邻的阿尔斯特镇，占地520英亩的废弃采石场，包含森林、湿地、采石场湖泊和哈德逊河滨等多样自然特征。场地的历史从工业化前 Esopus 人的家园开始，经历了作为“金斯顿公地”的发展，再到一个世纪的采掘工业使用与废弃。如今，这片土地部分自然化，但生态严重退化。项目深刻了解当地包括多元化黑人和西班牙裔社区在内的需求，为计划提供了重要参考。

环境敏感性与可持续性

框架计划聚焦于生态再生，致力于创建工业废弃地生物多样性恢复的标杆。通过保护、气候适应性增强措施及创新“重野化”技术（尤其针对裸露的碎石土区域），计划提升了环境敏感性和可持续性。该策略与恢复本地栖息地和生物多样性、实现气候行动承诺的目标一致。

实施策略

计划分为三大适应性强的策略：解说性、生态性和编程性，以适应未来的发展机会与资金方案。这些策略结合包容性规划过程及对现有结构、小径和自然资源的详细分析，显著提高了实施成功的可能性。2022年，纽约州正式认定该地为自2019年以来的首个州立公园，并于2023年完成了框架计划中的首个项目施工。计划还包括公园不同区域的成本分析，为决策提供了清晰的路径，展现了实现公园愿景的务实方法。

项目价值

通过将废弃的采掘型景观转化为生态与社会复兴的空间，《索杰娜·特鲁斯（Sojourner Truth）州立公园框架计划》不仅为公众提供了生态和文化价值，也为地方经济发展和社区福祉做出了贡献。作为一个现实的设计示范，计划展现了如何通过轻触且精细的方法，为退化土地恢复生物多样性提供灵活的框架流程，同时满足多样化社区的需求，成为生态恢复和可持续公园设计的典范。

Project Narrative

The Sojourner Truth State Park Framework Plan guides the transformation of a former extractive landscape to one of ecological regeneration and social connection through strategic cultivation of site features and establishment of inclusive access. The plan establishes a real-world model of recovery of biodiversity in post-industrial landscapes.

Analysis and Planning Effort

The Sojourner Truth State Park Framework Plan was developed according to a comprehensive site inventory and analysis process. This included cultural heritage research, historic structure assessment, site modeling, context mapping, and a rapid ecological assessment (REA), followed by an eight-month natural resources inventory and habitat value assessment. The planning process involved robust engagement with community members, partners, local nonprofits, institutions, indigenous representatives, and government leaders through interviews, site walks, and online events. This multifaceted approach ensured a thorough analysis and planning effort that underpins the framework plan.

Context

Situated on 520-acres of abandoned quarry land in the City of Kingston and adjacent to the Town of Ulster, the site includes diverse natural features such as woodlands, wetlands, quarry lakes, and Hudson River waterfront. The area’s history spans from its pre-industrial home to the Esopus people and later as the “Kingston Commons,” and through a century of extractive industry use and abandonment, led to its current state: part wild and heavily degraded. The plan is deeply informed by understanding local communities of the area including diverse Black and Hispanic communities.

Environmental Sensitivity and Sustainability

The Framework Plan focuses on ecological regeneration and creating a model for biodiversity recovery in post-industrial landscapes. It employs strategies for preservation, climate adaptive enhancement, and innovative re-wilding techniques, especially in areas with bare rubble soils. The plan’s ecological strategy is designed to enhance environmental sensitivity and sustainability, aligning with climate action commitments by focusing on the recovery of native habitats and biodiversity.

Implementation

The plan is organized into three adaptable and flexible strategies–Interpretive, Ecological, and Programmatic–to accommodate future development opportunities and funding scenarios. These strategies, combined with an engaged planning process and detailed analysis of existing structures, trails, and natural resources, increase the likelihood of successful implementation. In 2022 New York State adopted the land as its first state park since 2019. The first project proposed in the Framework plan completed construction in 2023. The inclusion of cost analyses for various park destinations further aids decision-making processes, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to realizing the vision for the park.

Value

By transforming a former extractive landscape into a space of ecological and social revitalization, the Sojourner Truth State Park Framework Plan offers significant value as a model of engagement and novel programming. It provides a real-world model for ecological recovery and sustainable park design that serves diverse community needs, enhancing local economies and contributing to the well-being of the public. As a tool for design, it illustrates a flexible framework process relying on a light and nurturing hand to restoring biodiversity to degraded lands.
