Residents have until Sept. 8 to propose ideas 

The Hudson Highlands Land Trust has launched a survey asking residents to propose names for a new preserve the nonprofit is creating from 57 acres of woods and wetlands at the former Garrison Golf Course. 

HHLT said it wants a “distinctive, descriptive and memorable” name for the property. The organization is undertaking a biological survey and developing plans for restoration and public access.

Proposed names should “celebrate nature, history and/or the landscape,” according to HHLT. Participants will be entered in a drawing for nature-themed prizes. 

The survey can be completed at bit.ly/hhlt-naming. The deadline is Sept. 8 and HHLT hopes to announce the winner at its fall benefit on Sept. 22.
