Voters Decide Amendment

New York voters will decide on November 4, 2023, whether to approve a constitutional amendment for Nordic ski trails and biathlon courses on protected land at Mount Van Hoevenberg.
The amendment seeks to address past violations of the "Forever Wild" clause by authorizing existing developments and imposing future land use restrictions.

Local environmental groups support the amendment, but concerns exist regarding voter understanding of its implications.
