New York State Forests
Welcome to New York's Pine Ridge State Forest, one of the state's smaller forest preserves. In the 1940's the man who owned the land planted some trees with hopes that by the time his daughters were of college age they would be big enough to sell for timber and he could pay for their tuition. Unfortunately the trees did not mature fast enough so instead he sold the land to the State of New York.
New York State Law requires that when visiting any State Forest you must;
*Never move firewood! Doing so helps spread pests and diseases.
*No littering! Please carry out whatever you carry in.
*Never leave fires unattended. Please extenguish all fires upon your departure.
*Unless otherwise designated, all camping must be done with 150 feet of roads, trails, and bodies of water. Camping more than 3 consecutive nights requires special permit that can be obtained from the local forest ranger.
*All human excrement must be buried in holes no less than 6 inches deep.
*All motor vehicles must stay in designated areas.
*No building of structures or cutting of vegetation.
Please respect these laws and New York's forests.
