New Location, Slight Reorganization

I have had folders, both color and black & white, containing galleries from State parks and historic sites in New York for several years. Non NY State government parks or preserves have had galleries but not in this folder, notably Vischer Ferry Nature Preserve. After a visit to another non NY State government preserve yesterday, I decided to organize all such galleries in a New York State Parks and Preserves folder.

The new location, Papscanee Island Nature Preserve, is owned by the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians. Hudson Taconic Lands holds a conservation easement and trails are reportedly maintained by Rensselaer County although a crew from the Town of Schodack was clearing foliage along trails yesterday.

The preserve is located south of, and across the Hudson River from, Albany. It is very similar to, although smaller and less visited than, Schodack Island State Park, a half dozen miles to the south.
