hudson highlands land trust proposal to preserve the garrison school forest

Andy Chmar, Executive Director of the Hudson Highlands Land Trust, submitted a proposal to the School Board of the Garrison Union Free School District in May 2015 outlining a way to preserve the Garrison School Forest land in perpetuity. Hudson Highlands Land Trust (HHLT) proposes to purchase the conservation rights for the School Forest land from the School District. As part of this deal, the owner of the Garrison Golf Club, LLC will give to the district 100 acres of land that adjoin the School Forest. This land, the former Townsend estate, is located on Snake Hill Road. Please review:
