Footage of New York State Park Land on Long Island destroyed by New York & Atlantic Railway. Footage was taken July 18, 2010 after more than two years of covert and unlawful clearing of pitch pine scrub oak forest and an herbicide application that destroyed rare plants.
Title of video and music used at end of video is extracted from Bruce Cockburn’s wonderful song If I A Tree Falls In The Forest. Friends of Edgewood Preserve takes no credit for the title or the song.
