DEC to Develop Recreation Management Plan for
Croghan Tract Conservation Easement

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) is drafting a Recreation Management Plan (RMP) for the Croghan Tract Conservation Easement. The privately owned Conservation Easement encompasses approximately 12,816 acres located in the towns of Croghan and Watson in Lewis County.  The Croghan Tract shares approximately 8.8 miles of boundary with forest preserve lands, such as, the Pepperbox Wilderness Area and Watson’s East Triangle Wild forest.  A scoping session with the public was held in 2001.

Information relating to the Croghan Tract Conservation Easement is available on the DEC website: http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/8086.html .
