Forever Wild in the Adirondacks In 2008, The Nature Conservancy bought thousands of acres of Adirondack forest, including the historic Follensby Pond. Now, part of the area will open to the public for the first time in 100 years.

15,000 acres of New York’s Adirondacks has passed from private hands to parkland. 6,000 acres along the Raquette River will allow hiking, paddling, and camping. 9,000 acres around the lake are protected as a research preserve for rare cold-water species. tinyurl.com/24cmuekt
