    Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve UC0055 1 of 1 Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve 1966-1976 UC0055 QUANTITY: 2 boxes ACCESS: Open to research ACQUISITION: PROCESSED BY: Margie Amodeo Biographical Note: The Constitutional Council for the Forest Preserve formed in January 1966 as a coalition to be prepared challenges to Article XIV at the New York State Constitutional Convention. It was designed to serve as a liaison at the time of the Convention and in May 1968 elected to continue serving to alert organizations state-wide to a variety of concerns that related to the problems of the Forest Preserve. When the coalition was founded, officers from over fifty organizations joined along with the individual memberships were issued. Proposed changes to the constitution were bundled and voted on as a whole and rejected by every New York county. The CCFP continued to function as a group seeking to maintain Forest Preserve protection within the state constitution. As of January 1971, the Council consisted of 138 members. The officers included David Newhouse (who would also become an advisor to the TSCFA), David Sive, Arthur M. Crocker, R. Watson Pomeroy and William K. Verner. The consortium was dissolved in 1976 because as David Newhouse, CCFP Chairman, writes, “its function is now fulfilled by other organizations such as EPL and The Adirondack Council.” Any remaining funds were transferred to the Adirondack Council. Scope and Content Note: This Collection includes evidence of not only the internal discussion informing the opinions and decisions of this group of environmentalist leaders but letters and statements from members to political leaders.

    New York Freshwater Fishing Regulations Guide: 2015-16

    NEW YORK Freshwater FISHING2015–16 OFFICIAL REGULATIONS GUIDE VOLUME 7, ISSUE NO. 1, APRIL 2015 Fishing for Muskie www.dec.ny.gov Most regulations are in effect April 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016 MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR New York: A State of Angling Opportunity When it comes to freshwater fishing, no state in the nation can compare to New York. Our Great Lakes consistently deliver outstanding fishing for salmon and steelhead and it doesn’t stop there. In fact, New York is home to four of the Bassmaster’s top 50 bass lakes, drawing anglers from around the globe to come and experience great smallmouth and largemouth bass fishing. The crystal clear lakes and streams of the Adirondack and Catskill parks make New York home to the very best fly fishing east of the Rockies. Add abundant walleye, panfish, trout and trophy muskellunge and northern pike to the mix, and New York is clearly a state of angling opportunity. Fishing is a wonderful way to reconnect with the outdoors. Here in New York, we are working hard to make the sport more accessible and affordable to all. Over the past five years, we have invested more than $6 million, renovating existing boat launches and developing new ones across the state. This is in addition to the 50 new projects begun in 2014 that will make it easier for all outdoors enthusiasts to access the woods and waters of New York. Our 12 DEC fish hatcheries produce 900,000 pounds of fish each year to increase fish populations and expand and improve angling opportunities.

    Next Generation Council Adeline Clayton, Lake Placid, NY Tahawus Trails LLC Addy first moved to the Adirondacks for a summer internship with the Adirondack Mountain Club in 2015. You could say it was love at first sight because she’s been here since. Working for the ADK for the following 4 summers, Addy made the area her year-round home in 2018. She now works for Tahawus Trails LLC, a small private trail contracting company working on hiking and biking trails across New York state. When not working to improve the trails, she enjoys biking, baking, and working in her garden. She currently is the coordinator for the Lake Placid Community Garden and is on the ADK’s trails committee board as well as a founding member for the mountain club’s trail crew alumni association. Protecting the Adirondacks has become more than just a job for her, it’s something that she feels deeply connected to and has found a great deal of solace and healing among the mountains and wild waters of the park. She hopes to connect others to the place as sustainably as possible. Janelle Hoh, Saranac Lake, NY Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism Although not a native-born Adirondacker, Janelle has been actively involved and working here for over a decade. Nature and topics related to the environment have always been her passion, which led her to pursue those topics in academia. Janelle holds a BA in environmental studies and a MS in conservation biology. Most of the work Janelle has done academically and professionally has centered around how people relate and interact with their surroundings, specifically the natural world.

Our approach is simple—we are strengthening our commitment to protect New York State’s vast natural resources while seeking compelling ways for people to enjoy the great outdoors in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. The result is sustainable economic activity based on a sincere appreciation of our state’s natural resources and the values they provide. We invite New Yorkers and visitors alike to enjoy our high-quality water resources. New York is blessed with fisheries resources across the state. Every day, we manage and protect these fisheries with an eye to the future. To date, New York has made substantial investments in our fishing access sites to ensure that boaters and anglers have safe and well-maintained parking areas, access points, and boat launch sites. In addition, we are currently investing an additional $3.2 million in waterway access in 2019, including: • New or renovated boat launch sites on Cayuga, Oneida, and Otisco lakes • Upgrades to existing launch sites on Cranberry Lake, Delaware River, Lake Placid, Lake Champlain, Lake Ontario, Chautauqua Lake and Fourth Lake. New York continues to improve and modernize our fish hatcheries. As Governor, I have committed $17 million to hatchery improvements.

    Excursion to Climb Mt. Arab in the Adirondack Mountains Near Tupper Lake

    TRIP B-3 EXCURSION TO CLIMB MT. ARAB IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS NEAR TUPPER LAKE William Kirchgasser, Department of Geology, SUNY Potsdam [email protected] INTRODUCTION The easily reached summit of Arab Mountain (Mt. Arab of trail guides), near Tupper Lake in southern St. Lawrence County, with its Fire Tower and open overlooks, offers spectacular panaramic views of the Adirondack Mountains. For geologists, naturalists and tourists of all ages and experiences, it is an accessible observatory for contemplating the geologic, biologic and cultural history of this vast wilderness exposure of the ancient crust of the North American continent. My connection to Mt. Arab began in the 1980s on the first of several hikes to the summit in the fall season with Elizabeth (Betsy) Northrop's third grade classes from Heuvelton Central School. Although the highways and waterways in these mountains can offer breathtaking vistas, to truly experience the expanse and quiet grandure ofthe Adirondacks, one must climb to a summit. At two miles roundtrip on a well-maintained trail and only 760 ft. (232 m) elevation change, Mt. Arab is ranked among the easiest of the fire tower trails in New York State (Freeman, 2001); at a leisurely pace the summit at 2545 ft (176m) elevation can be reached in thirty to forty-five minutes. Mt. Arab is included in many trail guides, among them one with many useful tips on hiking with children in the Adirondacks (Rivezzi and Trithart, 1997). Through the efforts of the Friends ofMt. Arab, the Fire Tower and Observer's Cabin have been restored and there are trail guides available at the trailhead.
