In 2018 the status of the Adirondacks as a national treasure was reaffirmed when Wilderness areas were expanded, junk oil trains were removed, and the Adirondack Council and partners went to court and successfully forced the Federal Environmental Protection Agency to comply with an important part of the Clean Air Act that protects the Adirondacks from Acid Rain. It has been a critical year in Adirondack conservation.

Let's #KeepItWild | Overuse in the Adirondack Park
The Adirondack Park is an example of how people and wildlands can thrive together. It's a unique patchwork of public and private lands that host 105 towns and villages and is home to over 130,000 permanent and 200,000 seasonal residents, and 10 million visitors yearly. It's also a safe haven for wildlife, it filters our air and water and mitigates the impacts of climate change. However, overuse is a problem that needs to be solved to protect this special place for future generations.
