In case you haven’t checked it out, this is a good time to read the Adirondack Life article I wrote this fall about the future of Adirondack communities.<\/p>\n

Just a decade ago the main threats were acid rain and the risk of irresponsible development of millions of acres of private timberland.<\/p>\n

Now the one urgent question is whether Adirondack communities will survive.<\/p>\n

Unless we move quickly to reform the park, one of the most hopeful landscapes in America will be reduced to a patchwork of ghost towns and hollow vacation resorts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An excerpt of the article can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0 I’m nuding you to check it out because you can also join in a what I hope will be a cool, live and in-person conversation about Adirondack communities, life and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Adirondack Life magazine has organized a couple of panel discussions about all this, one tonight at 7:30 pm at the Newcomb VIC and the second on October 5th at the Northwoods Inn in Lake Placid (also at 7:30pm).<\/span><\/p>\n

The first panel will include myself, Brad Dake, Paul Hai, Lani Ulrich and John Warren.\u00a0 The second panel will include Kate Fish, Jim LaValley, Jim Newman, John Sheehan. <\/span><\/p>\n

This discussion about where Park towns and villages are going — and how to help them go in the right direction — will also be front and center at the Adirondack North Country Association annual meeting<\/a> on Monday in Lake Placid.<\/span><\/p>\n

The main topic of that meeting will be the “state of the Adirondack North Country,” with a focus on “economic and demographic changes since 2000.”<\/span><\/p>\n

So, feel free to chime in here on the In Box, but this is also a chance to turn up live and in person for a good old fashioned conversation. <\/span>
