Two Wins for the Adirondacks
New York State had two major clean air victories recently. One will bring much-needed clean-up of emissions from coal-fired power plants in states far away from the Adirondacks, whose emissions harm the Park nonetheless. The other will curb emissions created closer to home. Both will result in less smoke, soot, smog, and acid rain.

Recreating in the outdoors is beneficial for our physical, mental and emotional well-being.
