The subject of this article is a parcel of undeveloped land in New York State acquired incrementally by the state government between 2006 and 2010. The property, located across Putnam and Westchester Counties, was originally intended to be transformed into a recreational area offering various outdoor activities.
Its acquisition represented a significant investment in conservation and public access to natural resources. Proponents envisioned a space for hiking, birdwatching, and other passive recreational pursuits, thereby benefiting the health and well-being of residents. However, development plans were ultimately halted due to budget constraints and environmental considerations, leaving the area largely untouched.
