The Open Space Institute has purchased 2,229 acres in the eastern Adirondacks and intends to eventually sell it to the state, the nonprofit announced Monday.
Located in the towns of Chesterfield and Lewis, the land contains hardwood and softwood forests, wetlands, seven medium-sized peaks, Burnt Pond, and connects more than 10,000 acres of nearby protected land. In a press release, OSI said the state is expected to purchase the property using Environmental Protection Funds and the land would be added to the adjacent Taylor Pond Wild Forest.
