Orange County Land Trust announced on Jan. 11 that it had successfully acquired Sugar Loaf Mountain in the town of Chester with the goal of turning it into a new county park.
A local gem with a rocky summit and picturesque views, the 300-plus-acre mountain had long been in the hands of a private family despite development pressure.
