<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 18, 2011) Yesterday, NCPR reported that local governments in the Adirondack Park are deeply divided over the future of the Finch conservation project.That land deal would add roughly 60,000 acres to the “forever wild” forest preserve.  One reason that the project is still so controversial, four years after it was unveiled, is that many community leaders feel that they were strong-armed into accepting it.Other town supervisors say they felt the negotiations were fair and productive.  In part two of his special report, Brian Mann looks at the politics and the backroom talks that shaped the Finch deal.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 17, 2011) In his budget unveiled earlier this month, Governor Andrew Cuomo maintained the state’s Environmental Protection Fund at more than $130 million. Green groups praised the decision and say they hope some of the money will be used this year to expand the Adirondack forest preserve.The Nature Conservancy wants to sell tens of thousands of acres to the state, lands that were once part of the Finch timber property. Now one of the most prominent local government groups in the Park is trying to rally opposition to the plan. The Adirondack Local Government Review Board passed a strongly-worded resolution last month. The resolution urges the Governor to cancel additional land purchases in the Park until the state’s fiscal crisis is over. But the Review Board’s campaign represents a break with the stance taken by dozens of local communities in the Park, which have supported the project for years.In the first of a two-part special series, Brian Mann reports that some town leaders say they still want the Finch conservation project to go forward.
