HUNTING CAMPS IN ST.LAWRENCE COUNTY PART OF DEAL ON FORMER CHAMPION TRACT--The State Adirondack Park Agency Board voted Friday to approve a deal struck between Heartwood Forestland Fund and the State Department of Environmental Conservation that will preserve 208 existing camps, and allow 12 new camps to be built on land that the DEC purchased easements on in the 1990's as Champion sold the land to Heartwood. Heartwood agrees in the deal to turn over waterfront property in the St.Regis River watershed to the Forest Preserve so it cannot be logged. Most of the land in the deal is in the Town of Santa Clara in Franklin County, but some of it is in St.Lawrence and Lewis Counties.
