About

The Rensselaer Plateau is one of the largest and most ecologically intact native habitats in New York State. The Plateau is estimated to be the fifth largest forested region in New York State. Its forests still exist in relatively large continuous blocks with few dividing roads.

This gallery provides numerous maps of the Rensselaer Plateau, such as ecological communities and aquatic networks.
