On November 6, 2015 at Peacock Park in Lake Placid, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer called on his colleagues to immediately reauthorize and fully fund The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). Schumer said the LWCF provides critical funding that protects natural areas, water resources, and historical sites in Upstate New York. In addition, Schumer said jeopardizing these critical funds threatens both conservation and recreation projects that generate a significant amount of economic activity for communities across the Adirondacks. Schumer said this program has supported over 10 important conservation projects in Essex County, totaling over $4 million in funding.
