I added a redirect here from Lake Minnewaska (hence the boldface) as well as a referene from Minnewaska.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.216.68.28 (talkcontribs)


POV "In March 2006, an additional 2,500 acres were added to the Preserve as a result of action by a citizen's conservation group."

This comment covers up the fact that this supposed citizen's conservation group's actions were an attempt to build condos on land they said they were trying to preserve in a natural state. The state then siezed the land in order to actually make it into a preserve.


No, your facts are mainly wrong. You are right that the wording gives a little too much credit to the citizen's conservation group. I've fixed that.

But you seem to be confusing that group (really more than one group) with a real estate partnership that planned to develop the property.

Here is a reasonably accurate account of what happened: [1] Calamitybrook (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
