Enacts the "Great Swamp Protection Act"

This bill establishes the Great Swamp Protection Act to create a formal reserve in Dutchess and Putnam counties, aiming to protect a critical wetland ecosystem that supports diverse wildlife and two major watersheds. It creates a new commission made up of state, county, and local representatives with expertise in ecology and water science to develop a comprehensive land use and management plan. The legislation seeks to coordinate efforts between different government levels to preserve the area's natural, recreational, and agricultural values while designating specific zones for protection and compatible growth.
