    The NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation is not acting in good faith. The ADK does more than its fair share of the heavy lifting in public outreach and visitor education in the purportedly over run High Peaks Wilderness. The ADK has done far more of this work than NYS for decades.

    This is a shame. As so often, NYS agencies make it difficult if not impossible to work with them for the betterment of the people of New York.

    Parks is applying regulations that aren’t appropriate to the situation. Regulatory agencies do such too often. Spoken by a (retired) career State employee.

    Michael Barrett explains it all to us. Ridiculous and frustrating for ADK and why not stay with the original proposed easement. Thank you for the explanation. I’m looking forward to OPHRP response.
