Adirondack land sold/given to Nature Conservancy

RE: Adirondack land sold/given to Nature Conservancy
Too bad the NC got their hands on such a great piece of land. With the taxes we pay in NY it should have been taken over by the state and stayed forever wild and multi use. My guess is that could be why the deal went so fast so the NC got it before any competition got involved. I have met some of the zealots that are in the NC and we as hunters are not in the equation of what they want on the land they control. It is nice that it will stay in one piece but you may as well put a fence around it an lock the gates.

Not perfect - but - rather see a conservency or state buy up the land with reasonable guidlines than developers scarf it up into Spec Homes,WalMart etc....
BTW - Never Ever seen a conservency - Against Hunting
I hunt next door to the largest conservency in state. We are not happy with all that goes on in these places - but it's better than the alternative. We need to speak UP to keep it ALL in check!

Thanks Charlie for the update. My only involvement with the Nature Conservation is on a nice piece of turkey/ deer habitat in Southern Vt. I had hunted the land for years and after the NC bought it they had so many regulations that I stopped going. They gave out a number of permits but they had to be applied for every year and I found the area more crowded than when it was in state and private hands. I had the feeling that they only allowed limited hunting for turkey only for a while to ease into the picture and expect one of these days to see no hunting allowed period. They aren't a hunting organization they are tree huggers.

161,000 acres...is a paultrydrop in the bucket.
Note that the majority is privately owned and canbe bought/soldon a whim. The State will likely never relinquish the Public Landwhich it's taked great pains to aquire in the past several decades.

The Adirondack Mountains are contained within the 6.1 million acresof the Adirondack Park, which includes a constitutionally-protected Forest Preserve of approximately 2.3 million acres. About 43% of the land is owned by the state, with 57% private inholdings, heavily regulated by the Adirondack Park Agency.[2] The Adirondack Park contains thousands of streams, brooks and lakes, most famously Lake Placid, adjacent to the village of Lake Placid, two-time site of the Olympic Winter Games, the Saranac Lakes, favored by the sportsmen who made the Adirondacks famous, and Raquette Lake, site of many of the first Great Camps.

Here's a link to a google page with information on the NC and hunting.
The ticked off Friends of animals because they bought land and start allowing hunting when it wasn't allowed before.

Charlie P,
I am glad to see in other areas of the country the NC is doing the right thing.
My Info was first hand, as a Long Island Beach BuggyAssociationmember I worked with the local NC people on more than one project (beach access related at that time) and was straight out lied too on more than one occasion. Confirmed by a NC member that apreciated our help but had no power in the organization. I can think of not one property on Long Island that is controled by the NC that allows hunting, only hiking and bird watching, however I will check further. After reading some of the link youi posted it seems that it could be a local problem SE NY, I truly hope that it is or that the winds of change are blowing thru the NC.
