Walk - Near Wolf Hollow

Today, the Mohawk-Hudson Land Conservancy was leading a walk on some private property near Wolf Hollow, in Glenville. The landowner had entered into an easement with MHLC that prevents most further development on his 37 mostly wooded acres. The property is not technically open to the public, but the owner offered a tour of the property today which interested the many people who attended. The location is significant in Native American history, both for a great inter-tribal battle there in 1669, and as the site of a continual encampment over a period of centuries. Many artifacts have been found there and donated to the NYS Museum. The owner's hope is to preserve the property in its present state for future generations to enjoy.
