<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 21, 2006) There’s been a lot of news lately about ATVs in the North Country.  The state wants to close trails in some places and build new ones in others.  Governor Pataki even sent an unsolicited $500,000 to St. Lawrence County for an ATV trail.  Meanwhile, towns are striking laws that allow four-wheelers on the roads.  David Sommerstein sorts through the mixed messages about ATVs’ role in outdoor recreation.

<description><![CDATA[ (May 25, 2005) The Adirondack Park Agency held the first of five public meetings in Colton last night.  The agency is gathering comments regarding the classification, or reclassification, of 78 parcels of forest land in the Adirondack Park.  In St. Lawrence County, the focus is on one of them – a boreal forest that borders Carry Falls reservoir on the Raquette River.  Environmentalists want to protect a rare habitat.  ATV and snowmobile riders want access.  David Sommerstein reports.

<title>DEC, Towns to Negotiate on IP Deal</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4958/20041111/dec-towns-to-negotiate-on-ip-deal</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 11, 2004) State environmental officials say they&apos;ll continue to work with towns in St. Lawrence County that have vetoed their portion of a massive land deal with International Paper.  The IP deal would protect almost a quarter of a million acres of forest and wetland in nine Adirondack counties.  Colton, Hopkinton, Piercefield, and Parishville say they won&apos;t approve the easements within their town limits unless the state agrees to build ATV trails on the land.  David Sommerstein spoke with Department of Environmental Conservation spokesman Michael Fraser yesterday.  He says the vetoes don&apos;t kill the deal in St. Lawrence County.

<title>St. Lawrence County Towns Veto IP Land Deal</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/4953/20041110/st-lawrence-county-towns-veto-ip-land-deal</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 10, 2004) At least three towns in southern St. Lawrence County are taking on Albany over a massive land deal with International Paper.  Colton, Piercefield, and Hopkinton have vetoed the state&apos;s purchase of conservation easements on more than 33,000 acres of land within their town borders.  Parishville was expected to joiin them last night. If the vetoes stand, they would prevent the state from conserving land only in those towns.  Overall, the IP deal would protect nearly 260,000 acres of Adirondack land in 9 counties.  It would be the largest such deal in state history.  Stephen Borey is supervisor of the town of Hopkinton.  He spoke with David Sommerstein.  He says the state failed to compromise with the towns on their biggest concern – the construction of public ATV trails on the new tracts.
