纽约州：州长宣布 Long Island 史上最大规模环保用地收购：近750英亩海岸与森林纳入保护
纽约州州长 Kathy Hochul 10月22日宣布，州环境保护厅完成 Long Island 史上最大规模的土地收购：位于 Shoreham 的近750英亩土地纳入保护，其中包括 Long Island Sound 沿岸近一英里未经开发的海岸线、数百英亩森林与湿地。
这片土地位于 Central Pine Barrens 核心保护区内，内有对多个原住民部落具有精神意义的 Split Rock 冰川巨石群。自然保护协会纽约高级政策顾问 Kevin McDonald 表示，此次收购对保护清洁饮用水源与野生动物栖息地至关重要。Long Island Pine Barrens Society 共同创办人 John Turner 称这是送给全体 Long Island 居民的一份礼物。
该收购是州长30×30倡议的一部分，目标是在2030年前保护纽约州30%的土地与水域。新纳入的土地将由环境保护厅管理，规划包括扩大海滩通道与无障碍多用途步道等休闲机会。
New York: Governor Announces Largest Long Island DEC Land Acquisition in History: Nearly 750 Acres of Shoreline and Forest Protected
In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul announced on October 22 that the Department of Environmental Conservation has completed the largest land acquisition in Long Island history: nearly 750 acres in Shoreham, including almost a mile of unspoiled shoreline along Long Island Sound, hundreds of acres of forest and extensive wetlands.
The property lies within the Central Pine Barrens Core Preservation Area and contains Split Rock, a glacial boulder complex that held spiritual significance to several Native American tribes. Kevin McDonald, senior policy advisor for The Nature Conservancy in New York, said the preservation protects clean drinking water and wildlife habitat. John Turner, co-founder of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, called the acquisition a great gift to all Long Islanders.
The purchase is part of the Governor's 30x30 initiative to protect 30 percent of New York's lands and waters by 2030. Managed by DEC, the property will feature expanded recreational opportunities, including beach access and accessible multi-use trails.
