Interim Recreation Management Plan Santa Clara Conservation Easement Franklin County
Interim Recreation Management Plan Santa Clara Conservation Easement Franklin County New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Lands & Forests Region 5 - Ray Brook June, 2000 SECTION I Introduction In June of 1999 the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) completed one of its largest acquisition projects ever. Known as the Northern Flow River Corridors Project, the State acquired interests in 140,000 acres of lands through fee title acquisition and conservation easements. The objectives of this project are to preserve open space character, enhance public use of four northern flow river corridors ( Deer, Grasse, Oswegatchie, and St. Regis) and to sustain working landscapes of adjacent timberlands. Approximately 30,000 acres of land were acquired in fee and 110,000 acres in conservation easement from The Conservation Fund of Arlington, Virginia. These lands were formerly owned by the Champion International Corporation. The lands acquired in fee became part of the Forest Preserve with the only interests retained by the grantor being reserved rights of way. For those lands encumbered by a conservation easement, the Department acquired public recreation rights and development rights. The grantor retained fee title ownership and the right to manage the lands for the production of forest products. The Conservation Fund subsequently sold fee ownership and timber rights to Heartwood Forest Fund III of Chapel Hill, NC. Taxes are apportioned between the Department and the fee owner based on the rights or degree of interest held in the property, expressed as a percentage (%). The purchase comprises three non-contiguous blocks of land identified as the Santa Clara Tract, the Tooley Pond Tract, and the Croghan Tract.

Summer 2017 Recently Went Back to the Boreas Ponds, Hauling My Hornbeck the 3.6 Miles to the Dam Since Opening the Road All the Way to the Dam
Adirondack Mountain Club Keene Valley Chapter I hope you have had a great year. Winter was lovely here with lots of powder for back- country skiing. I was fortunate enough to ski into the Boreas Ponds once this winter. It’s a 6.7 mile ski one way to the dam. It is really a spectacular addition to the Forest Perserve, but these lands are still unclassified by the DEC. There has been much debate since the state purchased them. I Summer 2017 recently went back to the Boreas ponds, hauling my Hornbeck the 3.6 miles to the dam since opening the road all the way to the dam.

Appendices Section
APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
