The LGLC has recently received a donation of land from Mr. David VanHart of Pilot Knob. In addition to his donation, Mr. VanHart has agreed to provide an annual contribution towards the cost of stewardship. Mr. VanHart has donated 63 acres in Fort Ann, with viewsheds of the Dunham’s Bay Marsh and French Mountain.
The property also contains wooded wetlands and a stream that is a tributary of Lake George. The land is accessible by two ROW’s from State Route 9L. Access to the property is currently not open to the public, however a private viewing of the land can be granted view request from the LGLC office.
The VanHart property is a critical component in the LGLC’s goal of protecting the entire Pilot Knob ridge-line for view shed and watershed protection. The LGLC’s long-term goal is to connect it to the Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob.
