This week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the launch of an environmental initiative to enhance more than 750 acres within the Northern Montezuma Wetlands Complex. It’s one of the state’s most significant and oldest conservation areas. As a primary focus of the Reimagine the Canals initiative introduced in the Governor’s 2020 State of the State address, the New York Power Authority, Canal Corporation, and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation are developing this collaborative project to improve and enhance the Montezuma’s wetlands while protecting its wildlife habitat and creating new recreational opportunities for New Yorkers.
