DEC Seeks Public Input on Draft Amendment to Sundown Wild Forest Unit Management Plan
Proposed Plan Improves Access to Recreation and Protects the Resource

Comment end: April 21, 2023

Background

DEC announced that it is seeking public comment on an amendment to the proposed Sundown Wild Forest Unit Management Plan (UMP). The proposed amendment aims to improve infrastructure, increase public safety, enhance natural resource protection, and improve visitor experiences in the Peekamoose Valley Riparian Corridor.

The Corridor encompasses 275 acres of Forest Preserve land in the approximately 30,000-acre Sundown Wild Forest. This amendment builds upon DEC's previous efforts to encourage sustainable recreation by alleviating congestion at points of interest, enhancing public safety, and creating an experience that highlights the area's natural beauty. In addition, the plan proposes changes to the 2019 Long Path reroute. After further evaluation of local forest characteristics, constructing a trail to accommodate the use of snowmobiles on that segment has been removed.

Read the press release on DEC's website for details of what the draft UMP amendment includes.

View the draft amendmenton the Sundown Wild Forest webpage. Public comments will be accepted through April 21, 2023 and can be submitted by email to r3.ump@dec.ny.gov
