Orange County New York Taking Steps to Preserve Wilderness
Growing up in Orange County I had the benefit of enjoying the wilderness. Without dating myself too much I can say that when I grew up there was a lot more green space.
I can remember hiking fields and mountainsides that had no trails much less houses and roads. Sadly, many of the places I explored as a child in Orange County are now more developed pieces of land.

Some places I Traveled to have stayed green. I spent many a weekend hiking up Storm King Mountain. There were also fire trails and paths that led to amazing ponds and views that fortunately are still protected from becoming a housing development.
When I saw that the Orange County Land Trust had created this short film in the hope of saving Orange County's Last Wilderness I wanted to share it to get the word out about how vital it is to have a balance in our communities. Everyone should be able to take a walk in the woods.

Orange County especially the storied town of Port Jervis has so much interesting green space it is great to see a moment to keep it wild. The waterways should be enjoyed but also protected. This film does a great job illustrating what this part of Orange County has to offer and keeping it green and wild is part of the plan.
