Over the summer, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and The Nature Conservancy announced a pair of conservation easements they had agreed upon pertaining to 14,600 acres in the Adirondacks.

The impetus for the committee was a result of an uproar created by the fishing community after a road leading to the Horseshoe pier at Montrose – a route that provided considerable fishing access – was removed.
