ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — An environmental group on Friday proposed establishing a new wilderness area in the southern Adirondacks combining almost 4,000 acres of timberland that New York recently bought with about 9,000 acres of century-old state forest preserve.
The wilderness designation, which prohibits motorized vehicles, fits since that area west of Great Sacandaga Lake has no roads, according to Protect the Adirondacks. The group has established an online petition and written to state officials urging the change.
