The Pine Bush is a globally rare ecosystem, located between the cities of Albany and Schenectady in the eastern part of New York. I believe that Albany is the only capital city in the country with a unique ecosystem within its borders (please write me if you know differently).
Pine Bush preservation, like all land use issues, is complex. This web page consists of articles describing the battle for Pine Bush preservation, descriptions of the Pine Bush and why it is important, photographs, and strategies Save the Pine Bush has used.
In addition to keeping you updated on the struggle to save the Pine Bush, it is our hope that what we have learned in our battle for Pine Bush preservation will be helpful to others.
Save the Pine Bush has written much information about the Pine Bush. Our intention is to publish on the Web as much of this information as possible. Today, our web page has our current activities and newsletter and some selected articles from past newsletters. Look for frequent updates.
