About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Adirondack Council is to ensure the ecological integrity and wild character of the Adirondack Park. We envision an Adirondack Park composed of large core wilderness areas and clean water and air, connected to working farms and forests, and augmented by vibrant communities.
About
Adirondack park advocacy and wilderness preservation: The council's wilderness protection program includes securing additional acres of public land for the Adirondack forest preserve, increasing the forever wild acres that are protected with a wilderness designation or wilderness management, improving stewardship of state lands and waters, and defending Article XIV of the constitution, the forever wild clause. This year the council led the successful Be Wild New York campaign resulting in the expansion of the Adirondack high peaks to 275,000 acres of continuous motor-free wilderness. The council also secured a commitment by the state and partners to work to address overuse and stewardship in the high peaks. Preserving clean water and clean air by combating invasive species, securing funds for clean water infrastructure projects, and working to reduce road salt, acid rain and mercury impacts. Communities: Supporting a better, more resilient, sustainable Adirondack park, including vibrant local communities by supporting science-based improvements at the Adirondack park agency, including smart conservation design, expanding mutual respect and collaboration with local communities through state support for village and hamlet smart growth planning, for the common ground alliance, and the Adirondack diversity initiative. Working farms/forests: The council works to preserve the open space qualities of large tracts of private land, to increase the acres of private Adirondack forestland where sustainable forestry standards or best management practices are followed, to enhance the economic, human and environmental sustainability and resiliency of Adirondack farms through the Essex farm institute and our micro-grant program.
