The Conservancy has been particularly vicious in continental New York. One of its favorite tactics is to browbeat landowners into selling their acreage for peanuts, by threatening them with condemnation proceedings, or by making circumlocuitous statements that invite the landowner to infer that such proceedings are already under way. This is a form of extortion for which no adequate condemnation exists.

If a government official were to do this, it would be felonious malfeasance -- abuse of power under color of law. Why the Nature Conservancy is allowed to do it, with tacit cooperation from Albany, simply eludes me.

FP, IMHO, The "conservancy" and many other "conservation" groups could be prosecuted under the RICO statute. But, their "Partners" in governments from city through county, state, and federal would be found to be liable too. And, finding a prosecutor who holds the law above his/her office will be HARD to find. "Public Private Partnerships" of the WORST sort. It's like railroads and law{?} enforcement of the 1800s. EVIL!!
