flag A New York wilderness fate hangs on whether the state can buy 32,000 acres from Hendrickson’s estate to prevent a resort development.

flag The fate of a 36,600-acre wilderness near Long Lake, once a legacy of philanthropists Marylou Whitney and John Hendrickson, hangs in the balance as Hendrickson’s estate considers selling to Texas developer Todd Industries for a 4,600-acre resort. flag Conservationists and state officials seek to preserve the remaining 32,000 acres for public use and the state Forest Preserve, but the estate reportedly opposes a state purchase. flag A resolution depends on whether the developer agrees to conservation protections and whether New York can afford the acquisition, with Governor Kathy Hochul urging collaboration to balance development, community benefit, and environmental protection.
