The Cassadaga Lakes Nature Park will soon be improved thanks to a $40,000 New York state grant awarded to the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy.
CASSADAGA The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy has been awarded a $40,000 New York state grant for improvements to its Cassadaga Lakes Nature Park. The park, located on Route 60 just outside of Cassadaga, encompasses 77 acres of forest and wetlands at the head of the Cassadaga Lakes, including 26 acres of shoreland wetlands and 1,100 feet of natural shoreline.
“We thank State Sen. George Borrello, Assemblyman Andy Goodell and Gov. Cuomo for their support of this project and the New York State Conservation Partnership Program during this challenging time,” said John Jablonski, CWC executive director. “The CWC has registered over 1,300 persons using its preserves over the last nine months. We anticipate that this site will become one of area’s most popular walking destinations.”
