Bill > K00124

This resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of The Adirondack Council, a not-for-profit environmental advocacy group that has been working since 1975 to protect the Adirondack Park in New York State. The resolution highlights the organization's significant contributions, including defending the "Forever Wild Clause" of the New York State Constitution, protecting over 2.6 million acres of Adirondack Forest Preserve, and working with local, state, and national officials to conserve natural resources. The Adirondack Council has played a crucial role in environmental initiatives such as creating the state's conservation easement program, establishing the Environmental Protection Fund, leading efforts to reduce road salt pollution, preventing aquatic invasive species, and promoting diversity and inclusion in the Adirondack Park. The resolution pauses to recognize the organization's 50 years of successful park protection and advocacy, congratulating its board and staff, and formally transmitting a copy of the resolution to The Adirondack Council as a tribute to their environmental work.
