Please Help Save the Historic Towers

The APA is holding a public comment period through August 25th to gain input on the future of the towers in the State Land Management Plan.

The Adirondack Park is larger than any of the seven smallest states in the United States: Hawaii, Connecticut, New hampshire, Massachusetts, Delaware, Rhode Island, and New Jeersey.

It would take five national parks added together to equal the size of the Adirondack Park: Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Everglades and Great Smoky National Parks.

The Adirondack Park is slightly larger than Denali National Park in Alaska.
