To better support and sustain our work in the Adirondacks, we have launched a $20,000 Matching Fund Campaign to Sustain Excellence in Research to continue quality expert programming on the key issues facing the region. We have already raised $12,000 through gifts from generous donors and our Board of Directors. We are asking our corporate partners, members and friends to consider a matching gift toward our final goal. Contributions of any size are appreciated, and will be matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact. Please consider a tax deductible donation with a credit card or by check today. 

Please, we need your help!  There has never been a greater need for science and research to inform policies impacting the future of the Adirondacks!  Thank you!

The Past, Present, and Future of Adirondack Social Science Research

Joseph Henderson, Ph.D. and Kelly Cerialo, Ph.C., of Paul Smith’s College, will lead a working session that will identify past and current social science research in the Adirondacks.  The goal is to identify gaps that warrant future inquiry and to begin coordinating social science research to better address social issues within the Adirondacks.  The session at the 26th Annual Conference on the Adirondacks will be followed by a broader workshop at Paul Smith’s College next summer to further social science research in the Adirondacks.

 

Economic and Population Trends Study

Join us for an overview and panel discussion of the economic and population trends in the Adirondacks and how they compare with rural America.  This analysis is contained in a Report prepared by Protect the Adirondacks! and presented by Executive Director Peter Bauer, on May 23^rd at 8:30 during the 26^th Annual Conference on the Adirondacks.  That presentation will be followed by a panel discussion on Adirondack perspectives moderated by Ross Whaley and including Jim McKenna, ROOST; Tony Collins, Clarkson University; Hon. Dan Stec, NYS Assembly; and, Stanzi Bliss, Adirondack Foundation.

Dr. Gonzalez-Murphy to Present NYS Immigration Policies and Programs

Dr. Laura Valeria Gonzalez-Murphy is the Director of NYS Office of New Americans.  She will be a featured luncheon speaker on Wednesday, May 22, 2019, at 12:00 during the 26th Annual Conference on the Adirondacks.  Dr. Gonzalez-Murphy will present efforts to design and launch sustainable initiatives in response to fluctuating immigration flows, during times of relative receptiveness to immigrants, and during periods of highly restrictive national policies.  The last two years have entailed formidable challenges for immigrants in New York State, particularly in the upstate areas, where services are limited.  Dr. Gonzalez-Murphy will discuss these challenges and programs available in the region.
