I just found out that the agency (Tug Hill Tomorrow Land Trust) that sent me the letter didn't even write it. I sent their executive director an email today and got a reply back as follows:
"I can't answer that question but I have forwarded your question on to the Natural Heritage folks who helped draft the letter. I will make sure you get a response"
So, maybe some of these people are well intentioned, and maybe not. But, to send letters out stating New York lets property owners do as they please on their own land is just plain crazy. Seems that was added to elimate any fears about over-protectionism after their visit? Subsequently, I question everything else about them.
I'm not even legally allowed to break a beaver dam on my land when my road is under three feet of water. I'll add that somehow, those dams get broken anyway - must be the beaver dam fairy sneaks in at night and does it.

And, if someone came in an found some rare plant or frog, who knows what else I wouldn't be allowed to do? I'll add that I'd like to see it stay wild, but . . . don't feel that giving out any sort of wildlife easement guarantees anything forever. All "forever" means is - until some government agency changes their minds. My wife and I came close to signing a Federal wetlands-restoration easement a few years ago, but after finding out more about it, we chickened out.
