An article by Laura Incalcaterra in the Poughkeepsie (NY) Journal News on 22 March 2007 and entitled "Federal money will flow to Highlands" mentions the Appalachian Trail as one of the components of the the Highlands area covered by the Highlands Conservation Act of 2004:
"The Highlands links the Appalachian Mountains to the Berkshire Mountains and stretches from Pennsylvania to New Jersey and New York and into Connecticut. The Highlands includes the southern and eastern edges of Dutchess County, including prominent features like the Fishkill Ridge, Mount Beacon, Depot Hill, the Appalachian Trail, and the Taconic Mountains in the Harlem Valley."
The point of the article is that Congress has just now, for the first time, appropriated any of the money allowed under the act, $1.98 out of the $10 allowed by law.
