Dear Interested Citizen:
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) is requesting public input for the development of a draft of the Lower New England-West Unit Management Plan. The plan will guide future uses and management of the approximately 8,130 acres of DEC Managed Public Land within the Management Area known as the Lower New England-West Unit.

The properties addressed in the Unit Management Plan consist predominantly of “green certified” forested public land managed by the Department of Environmental Conservation Division of Lands and Forests. The properties are found within Orange and Ulster Counties and include Stewart State Forest, Pochuck Mountain State Forest, Black Creek State Forest, Turkey Point State Forest, Mt. Peter Hawk Watch, Hemlock Ridge Multiple Use Area, and High Woods Multiple Use Area. The plan will focus on developing recreational assets on these lands, increasing public awareness of these assets, and sustainable management of these woodlands to provide a multitude of benefits to their ecosystems and surrounding communities.

The Unit Management Plan will be developed in accordance with the DEC’s Strategic Plan for State Forest Management. The strategic plan can be found at; Strategic Plan for State Forest Management - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

Those unable to attend the meeting are invited to submit written comments on the proposal to the DEC’s Region 3 Office, Division of Lands and Forests, 21 South Putt Corners Road, New Paltz, NY 12561, attention Matt Paul; or by email see below

To be included in the decision making process, written comments must be received by December 9, 2016.
