NORTH HUDSON — The state Department of Environmental Conservation has rescheduled a public meeting on changes to the Hammond Pond Wild Forest Unit Management Plan.

DEC will host the public to gather input on the UMP next Thursday, Feb. 16 at 6 p.m. The meeting will be held at the North Hudson Town Hall, about one mile from Exit 29 on Interstate 87.

The meeting was originally scheduled for Tuesday this week, but was canceled due to concerns over the weather.

“The meeting will provide an opportunity for the public to meet with DEC staff and share their thoughts, concerns, and suggestions regarding management of lands in the Wild Forest,” a press release from the DEC said.
