With the amount to tax dollars poured into this place, there should be free access to all Ulster County residents. Not just 2 months out of the year. Not to mention the influence in local governments that this particular not for profit is enjoying. The Town of New Patz and Gardiner should rename themselves the Town of Mohonk. Seriously, the political clout this organization has is unfair and unethicalreThere is a revolving door between Mohonk, OSI, Land Trust Alliance and NYSDEC, NYSPRHP. There is no accountability. ZERO!!!
He who knows little often repeats it.
He who knows nothing can prove it with no effort.
