	Forest Preserve (New York) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While today the Forest Preserve is valued largely as a conservation measure, its original creation in the 19th century was motivated primarily by economic considerations.
		The Catskills had actually been considered when the Forest Preserve legislation was first passed, but Harvard botanist Charles Sprague Sargent had visited them and reported back to the legislature that it was not worth the effort as its streams did not appreciably affect the state's navigable waterways.
		In the late 1990s a DEC forester writing a management plan for the Balsam Lake Wild Forest in the Catskills recommended that the fire tower on top of the similarly-named mountain be removed and dismantled as nonconforming.
