| Who We Are:
A Message
From Our President:
 The
New York State legislature intiated legislation in 1885 which would ultimately
lead to the creation of the Adirondack State Forest Preserve in upstate New York.
This
remarkable achievment led to the establishment of a 6 million acre "Forever
Wild" preserve (the Adirondack Park) which today is larger than all of Yellowstone,
Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Great Smokey and the Everglades National Parks combined.
Today, we call this park our home and we live and breathe the natural beuaty
of the Adirondacks 365 days a year!
As concerned citizens of this remarkable
preserve we are individually and collectively responsible for its continued protection
and conservation.
Like all great parks, the Adirondacks represent a microcosim
and mirror image of the worlds ecosystem.
Our ability to successfully manage
and protect this unique environment on a local level reflects to what degree we
can succeed on a global scale.
In this respect, regardless of who you
are or where you live, the earth is our shared park and its destiny depends on
you.
We must now all become conservationists with a shared mission to
save this planet.
Respectfully,
Rob Grant
President
