Consolidation of The Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks (AFPA) and the Residents’ Committee to Protect the Adirondacks (RCPA) would create a vigorous, highly effective new Adirondack environmental organization

We are delighted to introduce the Association’s 2009 Adirondack Park Stewardship Training Program that is encouraging direct outreach, training and conservation experience for career-track college and university students.

These past few weeks, the Association’s staff and board advisor worked with students at SUNY Plattsburgh during a basic level citizens training at the Miner Center . Prior training workshops were held at Cornell University , Paul Smith’s College and St. Lawrence University. 300 students have participated in the program since its inception in late 2007.  The program staff also recently addressed 35 advanced placement high school students during their visit to the Adirondacks .
