Forever Wild
[edit]I have removed the following sentence from the article:
- Apollos Smith and Louis Marshall were a force in tandem driving home the "Forever Wild" Amendment {"that no tree should be cut nor windfall be removed"} to the New York State Constitution,which went into effect on January 1, 1895.[1][2]
It is only the second source that mentions Paul Smith in connection with the Forever Wild clause. No other account of the constitional ammendment mentions Paul Smith as a supporter, and given that he undertook a considerable amount of logging in his own business, it seems decidedly out of character. I would suggest that this material remain only on the discussion page unless a reliable corroborating source is found. Incidentally, the language quoted is from the NYS Conservationist article, not the NYS Constitution. -- Mwanner | Talk 18:38, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
