See the difference your support makes
Every donation, volunteer hour, and advocacy effort helps protect the Adirondacks. Explore how ADK’s work translates into real-world conservation wins, community education, and lasting environmental stewardship impacts through our seasonal reports and regional impact.
It’s hard to believe we’ve closed our 103rd year as an organization protecting, exploring, stewarding, and advocating for the lands, waters, and wildlife we all cherish so deeply.
From welcoming our new Executive Director, Cortney Koenig Worrall, to helping secure $10 million for regional natural resources to hosting a first-of-its-kind training in American Sign Language to accompanying local fourth graders on their very first hikes, ADK is stronger than ever.
