Congrats to Nancy Battaglia for receiving the 2023 @AARCH_NY Preservation Award for all she has done to document the Adirondacks through the lens. @WiawakaCFW was the perfect place to honor her. Cheers, Nancy.

Guess what, #Adirondack hikers? The high-water and muddy trails advisory is STILL IN EFFECT, and we're in for another soggy weekend, with more t-storms and rain in the forecast.
Please use caution and consider making other plans this weekend.
Good hiking trails can be hard to come by on the East Coast. That's why some people are working to expand the network of trails by carving new public paths through private land.

Sen. Gillibrand just announced in Lake Placid that a new Rebuild Rural America Act is being reintroduced- through the Farm Bill- which will open up $50 bil in funding for infrastructure upgrades and economic growth in rural communities, including technical assistance programs.
Following extensive flood damage to North Country communities earlier this week, the Clean Water, Clean Air and Green Jobs Environmental Bond Act listening session scheduled for July 14 in Saranac Lake at North Country Community College is being postponed. https://t.co/15uxCLZlHo
The wonderful Adirondacks are changing in many wonderful ways, including that its human diversity is starting to mirror its biological diversity.
Eager to see what the @adk_council gets to work on in the years ahead!
