Even though OSI was prepared to contribute $100,000 toward this purchase, the town decided that it could not commit the remainder, $85,000, to complete the sale. The Board of Friends of the Shawangunks voted to step up and offered, through their land acqui- sition affiliate, The Shawangunk Conservancy, to fund-raise and fill the gap. This project was formally announced at our annual Members' WHAT'S UP THERE ANYWAY? WILL THERE BE TRAILS? meeting in October. We met at the Rosendale Theatre, and afterwards As you might expect of a dramatic landform located in the middle of two walks were led on Joppenbergh. a small community, Joppenbergh is laced with a network of old and Here are some of the questions that were asked about the often overgrown roads, paths and trails.
