Fundraising campaign to support new community forest in Saratoga County

Work on expanding a multi-use trail network in Saratoga County’s Palmertown Range will hit a major milestone in 2022.

Later this year, 200-acres of wooded land in Wilton will be made accessible to the public with hiking and mountain biking trails.

Beginning on Earth Day, April 22nd, non-profit Saratoga PLAN will launch a fundraising campaign to help support the vision of the Palmertown Partners.

WAMC's Lucas Willard visited the so-called Graphite Range Community Forest, just minutes from downtown Saratoga Springs, on Friday. He was joined by Saratoga PLAN Executive Director Maria Trabka and landowner Ethan Winter for a tour of the property that boasts some unique features.

Lucas Willard is the Executive Producer of WAMC's Northeast Notebook. After joining the station in 2011, Lucas has held several titles at WAMC, including Berkshire Bureau Chief, Southern Adirondack Bureau Chief, and Assistant News Director.
