Close to the headwaters of the Hudson River, dense forests and crystal-clear lakes beckon wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts alike. The river’s cold, clean water has meandered for centuries through this vast wilderness, feeding the lakes and inlets that characterize the Adirondacks. In 2005 the Fund worked with the Bunting Charitable Real Estate Trust to secure donated conservation easements on two Essex County properties near the Hudson’s headwaters. Now more than 6,200 acres of wilderness here are protected.
In one of the largest land conservation projects in New York state history, the Fund and its partners protected 257,000 acres of forestland - conserving sensitive wildlife habitat, protecting water quality and benefiting the Adirondack Region’s economy.
