Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE FOUNDATION'S FOUNDER, HENRY UIHLEIN, DIRECTED THAT, IF POSSIBLE, HIS PROPERTY NOT BE TURNED INTO A COMMERCIAL OR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. ACCORDINGLY, THE FOUNDATION HAS RENOVATED AND RESTORED HIS RATHER EXTENSIVE FARMHOUSE AND HOLDS IT AVAILABLE TO LOCAL NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AS A VENUE FOR MEETINGS, SEMINARS, RETREATS, FUND-RAISERS AND THE LIKE. AN UPDATED (BUT NOT "COMMERCIAL") KITCHEN IS AVAILABLE ALONG WITH FIBER-SUPPORTED WI-FI. THE BUILDING USUALLY SEES ABOUT 3,000 VISITORS A YEAR. IN 2021, THE BUILDING REOPENED IN JUNE AND SAW ABOUT 1050 VISITORS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR.
THE FOUNDATION HAS DEVELOPED ABOUT ELEVEN MILES OF WALKING/HIKING/CROSS-COUNTRY SKI TRAILS THAT ARE EXTENSIVELY USED YEAR-ROUND BY LOCAL RESIDENTS AND VISITORS. THE COVID LOCKDOWN SPURRED EVEN MORE USAGE. GUESSTIMATES PUT TOTAL USAGE OVER THE YEAR IN SIX FIGURES. HENRY'S WOODS LIES AT THE EASTERN END OF THE PROPERTY AND CONSISTS OF SEVERAL HEAVILY ENGINEERED TRIALS OF LIGHT TO MODERATE DIFFICULTY AND BREATH-TAKING VIEWS FROM LOOKOUTS HIGHER UP THE HILL. HEAVEN HILL TRAILS, INCLUDING OLD ORCHARD TRAIL, ARE LOCATED ON RELATIVELY FLAT TERRAIN AT THE WESTERN END OF THE PROPERTY. ALL TRAILS ARE WELL MARKED. RECENT ACQUISITION OF ADJACENT PROPERTY FORMERLY USED FOR POTATO RESEARCH HAS PROMPTED A HALT TO FURTHER TRAIL DEVELOPMENT PENDING THE COMPLETION OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE TRAIL SYSTEM.
THE FOUNDATION HAS REFURBISHED THE SUGARHOUSE BUILT BY THE FOUNDER AND HAS HIRED AN EXPERT TO OVERSEE THE HARVEST OF MAPLE SAP FROM THE LARGE STAND OF MAPLE TREES (THE "SUGARBUSH") AND BOIL SYRUP WHILE RUNNING AN OUTREACH PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS AT LOCAL SCHOOLS AND THE PUBLIC. COVID HAS LIMITED IN-PERSON CONTACT, BUT THE 2021 SYRUP HARVEST WAS VERY GOOD AND RESULTED IN DONATIONS TO THE LAKE PLACID CENTRAL SCHOOL FOOD PROGRAM AND THE NORTH ELBA CHRISTMAS FUND (THE BALANCE WAS DISTRIBUTED DURING OUTREACH PROGRAMS DURING THE YEAR).
