Deed Restriction To Protect Karner Blue Butterfly Lifted

A deed restriction put in place on a Wood Road property more than a decade ago to preserve a small Karner blue butterfly habitat was lifted by Clifton Park lawmakers on Dec. 16 after it was determined the parcel can no longer sustain the endangered species. The Daily Gazette reports the restriction prevented the development of a 1-acre section of the property that at the time was considered a habitat for the Karner blue.
