ATVs are a persistent problem in the "forever wild" Adirondack Forest Preserve, where they can cause severe damage to trails and off-trail areas. The Adirondack Council supports a general ban on ATV riding in the Forest Preserve, but also supports the establishment of legal riding areas on private lands and on lands where the state has purchased recreation rights.
We are at a tipping point in the Adirondack Park. Both threats and opportunities seem greater than ever, with excitement swirling over the state acquisition of the Boreas Ponds tract and recent concerns expressed by Adirondack Park Agency (APA) board member Dick Booth about the trajectory of the agency.
Read Ray Johnson's blog on climate change and how, in this past February, we set a record. But it wasn't for anything good.
Please enjoy Parts 3 and 4 of one of Dan Wolk's stories from his blog "Tales of Finding - Wit and Wisdom from Brant Lake," in which he talks about the general store and the impact it had on the community and the people who shopped and gathered there.

I participated in the 2016 Adirondack Research Forum at the Adirondack League Club in early March. This is the second in a two-part series on the studies I learned about at this forum. Such studies help us convince policymakers to create science-based policies to better protect Adirondack wilderness, waters, wildlife and communities from acid rain, and climate change.
I had the privilege of participating in the 2016 Adirondack Research Forum at the Adirondack League Club in early March. Scientists came from as far away as Oregon and Ohio to explain their work. Studies like these help us convince policymakers to create science-based policies to better protect Adirondack wilderness, waters, wildlife and communities from acid rain, and climate change.
We would all probably agree that the lifeblood of the Adirondack Park is its clean water. Unfortunately, clean water in the Adirondacks is currently facing a very serious threat that will challenge its very fabric: invasive species. Thankfully, a coordinated effort focused on policy and funding is underway to prevent the spread of invasives and protect clean water.
New York's Department of Environmental Conservation and SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry have been conducting a complex public outreach and planning effort focused on enhancing recreational opportunities in the two-million acres of the Adirondack Park known as the Great South Woods.
Governor Cuomo's proposed 2016-17 budget provides record funding for the environment and the Adirondack Park's wildlife, wilderness and communities. Help us convince the legislature to support this Adirondack funding in the final state budget!
