Project Description: | The Adirondack Park Agency is accepting public comments to help inform the Boards interpretation of the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plans Wild Forest Basic Guideline No. 4 no material increase of road mileage on lands classified as Wild Forest. Wild Forest Basic Guideline No. 4 states:
Public use of motor vehicles will not be encouraged and there will not be any material increase in the mileage of roads and snowmobile trails open to motorized use by the public in wild forest areas that conformed to the master plan at the time of its original adoption in 1972. The Agency is seeking comments regarding the following interpretations of the State Land Master Plan:
1. What was the existing road mileage on lands classified as Wild Forest in 1972? What is the existing road mileage on lands classified as Wild Forest today?
The interpretation of Basic Guideline No. 4 will establish a baseline for road mileage on Wild Forest classified lands. The interpretation of this guideline of the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan will better inform and support the development of Unit Management Plans (UMPs) that conform with the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan.
