In 2015 the High Peaks Alliance celebrated the completion of the Orbeton Stream project. The parcel, which consists of roughly 5,800 acres of working forest, will remain in the ownership of Linkletter Forest Lands LLC. The High Peaks Alliance had worked as a local partner to the trust for Public Lands, who helped to protect the land with a conservation easement.
The easement was made to ensure a continued source of sustainable forest products and guarantee public access for hiking, snowmobile and ATV riding, and more. The parcel is home to a section of HPA’s own Fly Rod Crosby Trail and abuts a six-mile section of the Appalachian Trail.
