I am the chair of the Dutchess/Putnam Appalachian Trail Management Committee and as such am very much interested in preserving open spaces in East Fishkill plus facilitating the enjoyment of these spaces by E.F. residents. As you probably know the National Park Service has acquired over a thousand acres in East Fishkill for the Appalachian Trail and this land will be forever left in its natural state. There are several properties either adjacent to the NPS lands or within the AT viewshed that are gems to the community. These include (1) the Jackson Farm, (2) the Garbasz farm along Hosner Mtn Rd, (3) the horse farm along Shenandoah & Hortontown Rds owned by Orsetti and (4) the Orsetti property on the east side of Hortontown Rd. The later property was subdivided a few years ago and a 2.5 acre segment has been for sale since that time. This borders on NPS land and a house built here would be most detrimental to the trail as well as the valley consisting of the horse farm. It would be of utmost interest to preserve this parcel so please let me know of anything I, the NPS or the Appalachian Trail Conservancy can do to protect this land. Please contact me on any issues where I or the Appalachian Trail community can assist the Open Spaces Committee. My phone number is 845-462-2893.
