 The Nature Conservancy in New York - Adirondacks
Because the Adirondacks are a mosaic of more than 2.5 million acres of publicly owned Forest Preserve lands intermingled with 3.5 million acres of private lands and small communities, they also provide a great model for how people and wildlands can coexist.
We work in partnership with the New York Departments of Transportation and Environmental Conservation, the Adirondack Park Agency, private landowners, and non-governmental organizations to minimize the impacts of this threat.
For example, with the Adirondack Mountain Club, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and support from the 46R Conservation Trust, we protect rare and fragile alpine habitat in the High Peaks by stationing trained educators on the busiest summits to teach the hiking public about the plants there.
