The idea of allowing ATVs, trucks, or golf carts in the “forever wild” wilderness of Adirondack State Park might sound like an April Fool’s joke. But a very real proposed amendment to the park’s rules could do just that. @ADKmtnclub @adk_council

Thank you to our friends at @nylcv ! A high impact day for our Adirondack park.
Yesterday, NYLCV Deputy State Policy Director Andrew Williams fought alongside @DeborahJGlick and others for environmental budget priorities at Adirondack Lobby Day 2024. Let's spend green, New York!
I thought we fixed this: Five of the 12 dead loons tested by NYS in '23 died from lead fishing tackle & sinkers. NY banned the sale of lead sinkers 1/2 ounce or less 20 years ago. Tackle from other states & overseas often have lead. Check your box

Ever wonder how the cities and towns of the Capital District got their names? Here’s their origins.
Thank you to @GovKathyHochul for increasing state grants for water & sewer upgrades in small, rural towns to 50% of the project cost - up from 25%. Will make BIG difference to #Adirondack communities, protecting lakes and rivers while curbing property tax burdens (p99 SOS).

If you're going ice fishing this winter, consider participating in the Lake Ice Observation Network. While you're out, record the ice and snow depth and report it to help scientists understand the impacts of climate on our local waters. Learn more here: adkwatershed.org/lake-ice-ob…
