What happens in the Adirondacks doesn’t always start in the Adirondacks — it can flow into our air, water, communities, and climate from coal-fired power plants far, far away from New York State lakes and forests.
In this episode of the ADK Talks podcast, John Sheehan, Director of Communications for the Adirondack Council, talks about the science, policy, and passion driving environmental advocacy in the largest protected landscape east of the Mississippi.
In this episode, they discuss:
The origins and mission of the Adirondack Council
The threats to air and water quality—and what’s being done
How road salt is quietly degrading lakes, wells, and even washing machines
The scientific tools used to monitor Adirondack lakes
The Council’s support for SUNY ESF’s Timbuctoo Institute, connecting students from underrepresented communities to careers in environmental science
How you can take action to protect the Adirondack Park
