The Fish Creek Segment of the proposed Old Saratoga on the Hudson Fish Creek Trail importantly connects the Schuyler Estate with the Village of Victory along a historically and scenically significant segment of the Fish Creek.  Preliminary site assessments along the Fish Creek indicate evidence of the American Fortifications that stood on its banks during the American Revolution, making this an extraordinary opportunity for historical interpretation.  The National Park Service is eager to have the property protected for this reason.  Significant financial commitments have been made already towards this project, including a $65,000 member item from former Senator Joseph Bruno.

Located in the Village of Victory, the Corbett Property is undeveloped land comprised of woodlands with direct frontage on Fish Creek.  Purchase of this property protects its historically and culturally significant landscape features, as well as providing the benefit of public open space.  Preliminary site assessments along the Fish Creek indicate evidence of the American Fortifications that stood on its banks during the American Revolution, making this an extraordinary opportunity for historical interpretation.  The purchase of this property supports the goals and objectives of many planning processes and entities in the region.  The funds requested from the Partnership would allow this purchase to proceed to closing, protecting this important resource.

Partnership Grant Amount for both projects—$9,000
