In a round of good news for hikers, the Open Space Institute recently protected thirty-one hundred acres in the Catskills, one of the largest parcels of privately-owned contiguous forestland remaining within the area.
The project will safeguard clean water for more than 15 million people in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and will also protect wildlife habitat.
The acquisition was made in late February and will also open the space for more recreational activities.
Radio Catskill’s (J.) Miguel Santiago Colón spoke to Open Space Institute’s Northeast Senior Land Project Manager Tom Gravel about the organization’s mission and its projects and this is what he said.
