[[New York (state)|New York]]'s '''Forest Preserve''',
These properties are required to be kept "forever wild" by Article 14 of the [[New York State Constitution|state constitution]], and thus enjoy the highest degree of protection of wild lands in any state. It is thus necessary to [[Constitutional amendment|amend]] it in order to transfer any of these lands to another owner or [[lease|lessee]]. Currently there are more than 2.6 million acres ({{convert|2600000|acre|km2|disp=output only}}) of Forest Preserve in the Adirondacks and {{convert|287,514|acre|km2|sigfig=4}} in the Catskills.
