NY Gov. David Patterson is threatening to close several historic parks around the state including Thatcher Park which has been a trademark of the Helderberg Mountains, Including Berne, Knox, Westerlo and many other surrounding towns. It overlooks the Captial Region and has been home to many, many field trips for kids. The park sits along the Helderberg Escarpment, one of the most fossil-rich formations in the world and the most dramatic natural feature of the regional landscape. Its a wonderful experience that the Gov. should see that closing it... will not be a smart thing to do!
