"These hils, rock-ribbed and ancient, as the sun - the venerable woods - rivers that move in majesty - and the complaining brooks that make the meadows green... the men of public spirit generally had forgotten that it was necessary for the life, the health, the safety and the comfort, not to speak of the luxury of the people of the state, that our forests be preserved." New York State Constitutional Convenion", 1894
