Climb the stairs as the fire tower system was developed in New York State, had great success, then adjusted to societal changes. Have we gotten to the top yet? What will the future view hold?

Join us for a presentation that will include the development of the fire tower system across the state. We will then hear why the towers ceased to be used for fire spotting purposes and their current role, with a focus on nearby Leonard Hill Fire Tower.

Presented by the NYS Chapter of the Forest Fire Lookout Association.
