NORTH HUDSON — A public meeting on changes to the Hammond Pond Wild Forest unit management plan has been canceled, but the state Department of Environmental Conservation says it will be rescheduled.

The meeting, which was scheduled for this evening in North Hudson, was canceled due to concerns over the weather.

The bulk of the Hammond Pond Wild Forest is on the east side of I-87 around exits 29 and 30. It has more than 45,000 acres of land in Adirondack towns including North Hudson, Keene and Crown Point. Current recreational uses include hunting, fishing, trapping, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and wildlife viewing. The DEC is in the process of revising the unit’s original 1988 plan.
