In July, the Adirondack Land Trust announced it had purchased 2,390 acres in the Essex County town of Chesterfield for permanent conservation.
A press release said the land trust plans to hold the parcel for future transfer to New York State, eventually adding all 2,390 acres to the Adirondack Forest Preserve within the Adirondack Park. The land will become available to the public for outdoor recreation, including hunting, hiking, and birdwatching.
