New York State has one of the oldest land conservation programs in the United States... More than a century ago, New Yorkers established a forest reserve. An act of the Legislature of 1885 declared that public lands in eight Adirondacks and three Catskills the counties should be "permanently preserved as wild woodlands". In addition, the land could not be sold or rented out. The law was a noticeable start, but it was not enough to stop those who abused the land, and the fight to preserve the forests continued. Dams have been proposed that would flood many of the deeper forested valleys. Finally, in 1892, the Adirondack Park was created, including both a forest reserve and private land in the central region. The 1895 state constitution changed the definition of a forest reserve, adding that the lands could not be cut, "no timber thereon could be sold, removed, or destroyed."
