WURTSBORO – Ridgetop Lakes Conservancy, Inc. has acquired nearly 35 acres of environmentally sensitive land along the Mamakating/Thompson line south of exit 111 on Route 17 in Sullivan County.
“This acquisition fits precisely with our mission of protecting the freshwater lakes and natural habitats of the Shawangunk and Mount Prosper ridge tops and reflects the kind of lasting safeguards we strike to achieve,” said Ridgetop Lakes Conservancy President Robert Rogers.
The parcel, conservancy officials say, represents a significant addition to ongoing conservation work in the Shawangunk and Mount Prosper ridge-top region. Its preservation strengthens the mission of the Ridgetop Lakes Conservancy and supports the broader environmental stewardship efforts of neighboring lake community organizations, they said
