North Country Wildfowl Pond Site

Land Description

This Northern New York acreage of hardwood forests and aspen trees is ideally suited for people who love to bird and duck watch as it is located in a direct flyway for migratory birds. The property is part of the USDA Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) - a voluntary program that provides assistance to private landowners to restore, protect and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture under a conservation easement. The landowners maintain ownership of land with rights to hunt, fish and pursue other appropriate recreational uses, as long as the property is not developed or subdivided. The property includes a pre-approved 5 acre building envelope, an existing driveway and electricity is available. As part of the WRP, the government will build a series of duck ponds on your land - for wildlife conservation and your own enjoyment. This is a great property for someone who wants to build a wilderness retreat or small observatory.
