TC Receives $15K Grant

The Trail Conference has received a $15,000 Land Conservation Transaction grant from the Land Trust Alliance (LTA) Northeast Program to assist in the clean-up of the LaFarge property along Route 209 in Mamakating, Sullivan County, New York.  This western spur of the Shawangunk Ridge Trail (SRT) lies at the confluence of the D&H Canal and the abandoned Port Jervis branch of the New York, Ontario & Western (O&W) Railway.  The rail-trail runs south through Wurtsboro Ridge State Forest and meets the SRT just north of Route 17.  This funding will allow the Trail Conference to remove garbage and other dumping from the site so that it can be sold and turned over to NYS DEC and added to the state park system.
