The Feeder Control Alliance65 Ridge StreetGlens Falls, NY 12801(518) [email protected]://www.feedercanal.com/The Feeder Canal Alliance is a not-for-profit organization created in 1987 to preserve, promote andmaintain the historic Feeder Canal. The Feeder Canal provides water from the Hudson River to the Champlain Canal, and from the early 1800suntil 1928 provided a means of transportation by canal boats for people and goods. In 1928 the canal wasabandoned, and the canal and towpath became overgrown and littered with trash. The canal and towpath today provide recreational opportunities to members of our community as well asproviding a glimpse into the past. The Feeder Canal is the last remaining original canal in New York State. The seven-mile Feeder Canal Linear Park is an opportunity for people of all ages and abilities to use thetrail and learn of its historical significance to our community.

Page 11 of 44
QLC (the Queensbury Land Conservancy) is a non-profit, grassroots organization founded in 2000 toprotect open space in the Greater Queensbury-Glens Falls region. The organization was created by localresidents who share a commitment to conserving and enhancing the natural and recreational resources ofthe area for the benefit of current residents and future generations.Our mission is to work with all sectors of the community to conserve land and resources in a mannerconsistent with responsible development. The organization is funded in part by the Town of Queensbury,with additional support provided by QLC members and donors.The quiet solitude of a walk in the woods … just minutes from suburban neighborhoods and shoppingcenters. Wetlands teeming with wildlife … just steps from an amusement park and half-a-dozen motels.Maintaining these and other natural treasures in the Greater Queensbury-Glens Falls region of New York isthe goal of the QLC.Few might see this area as a place where open space needs to be conserved. Surrounded by theAdirondack Park and the open farmlands of Washington County and northern Saratoga County, it might atfirst seem unnecessary.The Queensbury-Saratoga Region is one of the fastest growing areas in upstate New York. At the QLC, wewelcome that growth and economic development, yet seek to balance it by conserving strategic areas ofnatural lands and open space while they remain. We recognize that a healthy area is a growing area, withjobs and opportunities for residents that help families meet their basic needs, and provide an opportunity toconsider ways to enhance the quality of life of the region, through the conservation of open space.Comment By: Jackson Davis - August 28th, 2012 at 6:00am MDT

Page 12 of 44
We believe in consuming fresh, natural, locally grown foods. We want all of our food to come from awholesome, sustainable, earth-friendly environment. We farm with no synthetics or chemicals so ourproducts are as pure as possible. What you eat is important to your body and your soul!A natural lifeOur cattle are not raised in confinement or on an unnatural grain diet. Instead, they are quite happy inscenic pastures. The practice of rotational grazing encourages the growth of native forage and the recyclingof nutrients making for healthier soils. Our mixed breed pigs are happy pigs. The animals live a low-stresslife. They run and root around, eating an amazing amount of forage from the pasture. They even enjoypreening, rolling around in mud and taking sunbaths in the middle of the field.Comment By: Jackson Davis - August 25th, 2012 at 11:26pm MDT

Warren County. Department of Planning and Community Development1340 State Route 9Lake George, NY 12845(518) 761-6410http://warrencountyny.gov/planning/fwhc.htmWarren County, through the "First Wilderness Heritage Corridor Plan", undertook a planning processdifferent from past traditional efforts in order to strengthen the Hudson River communities and theireconomies. Town officials and concerned residents from Johnsburg, Chester, Warrensburg, Thurman,Stony Creek and Lake Luzerne recognized that they experienced similar problems and issues that crossedpolitically defined boundaries and were bound by geography and the existing “built― environment. Itwas their intent to approach the planning process through a collaborative effort and proceed to examinethose critical elements that they shared in common. This recognition provided the basis for developing aplan that acknowledged the history and significance of the Hudson River and the redevelopment of the raillines of Adirondack Branch of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad within each community. The river and therail line became the “thread― that bound these communities together as they proceeded withformulating the Plan. Discussions on local needs, public commitments to sustaining rural character andprotecting natural resources elevated to new levels as these Adirondack communities readily adoptedidentity with the..... First Wilderness Heritage Corridor.The Plan and its course for action fit well with Warren County’s planned investment to reestablish therail line for either freight or tourism activity. A combination of local and federal funding was secured toimprove the rail line, establish station stops and to connect by rail - the Hamlet of North Creek in the Townof Johnsburg to Saratoga Springs and beyond. Authenticity of experience for the traveler, preservation ofnatural resources, rural character and the essence of “place― as well as the creation of new jobsbecame the unifying goals for the ty that comprise this 60-mile corridor.This planning project was initiated in 1999 by the Warren County Planning Department and financiallysupported by the County of Warren, NYS Department of State - Local Waterfront Revitalization Program,NYS Quality Communities Program and Saratoga County.
