  • Camp Santanoni, NY
    Camp Santanoni, New York August 16 - 28, 2015 Project Partner: Adirondack Architectural Heritage History: In the late 1800s, Robert and Anna Pruyn bought property along Newcombe Lake in the Adirondacks and developed it into a family estate that served as a refuge in nature from their urban life in Albany. With the growing American middle class in the 1800s, these family retreats grew in popularity. Families, like the Pruyn family, no longer looked at the American Wilderness as something to be tamed and conquered but something to be preserved and appreciated. The Pruyns had a love for the outdoors and bought this property on Newcombe Lake due to its isolation. Anna’s love of nature came from her childhood growing up in the Adirondacks. Robert spent many years in Japan as a youth, and as a result, he came to appreciate the Japanese reverence for wildlife and the integration of nature into culture. This Japanese inuence can be seen in the overall plan which places the buildings in a way that blends them with the contours of the natural landscape. The property was segmented into four areas: the Great Camp, gate lodge complex, service complex and a model farm. The family would often invite guests to enjoy the property, and even had Theodore Roosevelt stay with them. Decades after Robert and Anna’s death, the Pruyn children sold Santanoni to the Melvin family. Crandall and Myron Melvin continued to use the property as a family retreat, but did not hire a staff, like the Pruyns, to maintain the property. The Melvins spent less of their time engaged in leisure activities, and more time was spent on the preservation and maintenance of the property buildings.

  • 2018 Draft Amendment to the Blue Ridge Wilderness
    BLUE RIDGE WILDERNESS Draft Amendment to the 2006 Blue Ridge Wilderness Unit Management Plan NYS DEC, REGION 5, DIVISION OF LANDS AND FORESTS 701 South Main St., Northville, NY 12134 [email protected] www.dec.ny.gov November 2018 Introduction The Blue Ridge Wilderness Area (BRWA) is located in the towns of Indian Lake, Long Lake, Arietta, and Lake Pleasant and the Village of Speculator within Hamilton County. The unit is 48,242 acres in size. A Unit Management Plan (UMP) for this area was completed in 2006. This UMP Amendment contains one proposal: Construction of the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail. Management Proposal Construction of the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail Background: During the planning efforts that led to the drafting and adoption of the Moose River Plains Wild Forest (MRPWF) UMP, it was realized that there is a great need for new, land-based snowmobile trail connections in the area. As a result, the 2011 MRPWF UMP put forth a conceptual proposal for a snowmobile trail leading eastward and north of MRPWF that would connect to the Sargent Ponds Wild Forest (SPWF) trail system—pending the adoption of a SPWF UMP. Ultimately, the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail will provide a land-based connection between the communities of Indian Lake, Raquette Lake, Inlet, and Long Lake. The proposed trail system will greatly reduce rider’s risk associated with lake crossings and traveling along and crossing major roads. Management Action: This UMP amendment proposes construction of a portion of the Seventh Lake Mountain – Sargent Ponds Multiple-Use Trail and its maintenance as a Class II Community Connector Trail.
