Under the leadership we have had for many, many decades.... With all the talk about lack of funds... And the commotion every time one governor or the other tries to raid federal funds - despite there is "Assent Legislation" which prevents that from ever happening... While we proclaim that we are conservationists.... Some of us voluntarily buying NY habitat & access stamps - which would be used as match funds to recieve federal grants.... While the complaints about hunter harrassment/interference grow... While we complain about NO PLACE TO HUNT... The following is what we get under the Conservation Fund Advisory Board, the NY State Fish and Wildlife Board, and the NYSCC... And the Friends of Montezuma Wetland Complex................................... A newly constructed bridge and parking lot offers improved access for recreational enthusiasts to explore Howland's Island, 3,500 acres of public land within the Northern Montezuma Wildlife Management Area. The 100-foot-long wooden bridge is elevated over Seneca River to avoid flooding problems and offer passage for small boats on the 10-mile voyage around Howland's Island. A convenient car-top boat launch is located nearby. A new parking lot less than a mile beyond the bridge is the entry point to trails for hiking, birding, hunting and more. Visitors can access the site via Carncross Road off Savannah-Spring Lake Road in Savannah, NY.
