The Adirondack Council works to ensure the ecological integrity and wild character of the Adirondack Park. Established in 1975, the Adirondack Council has been the leading advocate for preserving and protecting the open space resources of New York State’s six-million-acre Adirondack Park, and helping to sustain the natural and human communities of the region.  With members in all 50 states, the Council is funded solely by private individuals and foundations who share the group’s vision to ensure an Adirondack Park with clean water and air and large wilderness areas, surrounded by working farms and forests and vibrant local communities.
