Dedication Ceremony of Cornell Hill Fire Tower

SAVE THE DATE
DEDICATION CEREMONY
CORNELL HILL FIRE TOWER AT HISTORIC CAMP SARATOGA

Over ten years ago, the Town of Wilton co-partnered with the Department of Environmental Conservation, the Nature Conservancy and the County of Saratoga to create the Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Park. The Department of Fish and Wildlife also assisted the partners by providing additional funding and technical assistance.

Last year, the consortium effort produced the largest population of Karner Blue Butterflies in the eastern United States in recent memory. The partnership represents ownership of over 2,000 acres of multipurpose open space providing habitat for endangered and rare species, outdoor recreation and environmental education.

It is with great pleasure that I announce a partnership between the Town of Wilton and the Luther Forest Corporation to add to the success. The Cornell Hill Fire Tower, in service from 1924 to 1970, has been relocated from Luther Forest in Stillwater, restored and re-sited at the historical Boy Scout Camp Saratoga within the Wilton Wildlife Preserve and Park situated within the Town of Wilton.

The Mackay Family of Luther Forest, the prime movers of this project and the Town of Wilton invite you to the dedication ceremony at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 90 Scout Road, Wilton, NY 12831.

SAVE THE DATE. More information and program will follow.
