This is what we’re fighting for. 

❤️ Every time we hike these trails or fish these waters in Allegany County, we’re reminded that some things are too precious to pave over. We bought this land to preserve its pristine beauty for our family, not to see it overrun by gates and industrial concrete. Let’s keep the ‘Wilds’ in the Western NY Wilds. 🚫

What's occuring:

A proposed large-scale lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on Hess Road in Allegany County is facing local opposition due to safety, fire risk, and environmental concerns. With the development moratorium expired, residents are demanding comprehensive impact studies and safety audits before the project proceeds.
