 “Enormous
Wilderness Corridors Masquerading as Land Management Refinements”
- By Carol W. LaGrasse, Reprinted from New York Property
Rights Clearinghouse, Vol. 15, No. 1 (PRFA, Spring 2011)
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s
Strategic Plan for its 442 state forests comprising 786,000
acres outside the Adirondack and Catskill Forest Preserves
focuses on ensuring connectivity for wildlife movement between
large “matrix blocks” of state forests
maintained as mature cover connected with wide, natural strips
of land with a high percentage of forest cover. This system
would enhance connectivity though deep forested areas from
Ontario to Georgia.

 “The New Wars for
the West” - Keynote Address by William Perry Pendley,
Esq., President and Chief Legal Officer, Mountain States Legal
Foundation, Lakewood, Colorado; Eleventh Annual National Conference
on Private Property Rights (PRFA, Albany, N.Y., October 13,
2007)
Perry Pendley successfully defended John Shuller against
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service when, in self-defense,
he shot a grizzly bear. He won the case for Larry Squires,
who wanted to allow disposal of oil field brine in dry sink
holes on his property. Mountain States Legal Foundation is
fighting for inholder access to their property blocked by
the U.S. Forest Service. Pendley has argued successfully three
times before the U.S. Supreme Court on the right of contract
regardless of race or ethnicity, against what is called “affirmative
action.”

- Roadless Area Management in National
Forests — Proposed Rulemaking - Letter to U.S. Forest
Service from Carol W. LaGrasse (PRFA, November 15, 2004)
Access for fire suppression; productive use of forests,
including motorized and non-motorized travel, hunting, grazing,
forestry and mining; and historic roadway uses are essential
considerations. Forest health, the economic vitality of the
locality and the nation, and local participation should be
paramount; radical preservation agendas should be rejected.

- “DEC settles
in access for disabled lawsuit”-Reprinted by permission
from the Hamilton County News, July 10, 2001
The State of New York has caved in to three years of civil
rights litigation brought by disabled local residents in federal
court. The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)
will give the disabled real access to the State Forest Preserve
lands in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains-including access
to motor vehicle roads exclusively used by the State and the
expenditure of nearly $4.8 million to make parking areas,
restrooms, fishing access sites, boat launches, campsites,
picnic areas, equestrian mounting platforms and offices accessible
to the disabled.
