Mission Statement

The Adirondack Council is an environmental group that has been working since 1975 to protect the open-space resources of New York State’s six-million-acre Adirondack Park and to help sustain the natural and human communities of the region, which includes the state's highest mountain peaks, most of the Park’s 2,579 lakes and ponds, and hundreds of miles of waterways in the state's wild, scenic, and recreational rivers system.

About This Cause

To meet our goals and defend the Adirondack Park, the Adirondack Council’s advocacy efforts are focused on threats to the ecology and wild character of the Adirondacks including shoreline development and water degradation, the fragmentation of large blocks of working forest lands, use of motor vehicles in wild areas, and inappropriate development on ridgelines and open agricultural lands. The Adirondack Council is a member of EarthShare, a federation of the nation’s finest environmental and conservation organizations. We defend wilderness, support community sustainability, fight for clean air and water, combat invasive species and climate change, and advocate for private land stewardship and working farms and forests.
