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.

All "forever" means is - until some government agency changes their minds.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener.
