SUBJECTS FOR THIS NEWSLETTER ARE:

1) Proposed ATV's and Sleds Trail closing between Croghan and Harrisville

Another state forest in Lewis County could soon become lost to ATV's and Sleds.

Talks are underway between New York State and the military to give Fort Drum a special permit to use the Frank E. Jadwin State Forest to train troops. Jadwin Memorial State Forest is in the Town of Diana in Lewis County.

They are trying to close the Frank Jadwin forest located on both sides of SR 812 between Harrisville and Croghan. If this is allowed to happen the trail systems for ATV's and Sleds will be closed between Croghan and Harrisville,

The land runs on both sides of State Route 812 and is situated between the communities of Natural Bridge and Harrisville just miles from Fort Drum.

The initial discussions revolved around 20,000 acres but it has escalated to 57,000 acres and is one of the largest forest preserves in the state.

If the talks are successful an agreement could happen by the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
