The Capital Roots organization is working to improve "walkability and bikability" in the Capital Region. Erin Fleming-Shaw Walsh will tell us about their efforts that are supported by a five year grant from NYS Dept. of Health.

Program: Discover the Rensselaer Plateau, the fifth largest unfragmented forest in New York State, with Lisa Hoyt, executive director of the Dyken Pond Environmental Education Center. Lisa will tell us about this gem in our own backyard, focusing on its ecological significance, the mammals who reside there, and its abundant recreational offerings (hiking, paddling, snowshoeing, and tracking). The Dyken Pond Center is a Rensselaer County park and is high in biodiversity of flora and fauna in a hidden away spot. May 17 (3rd Tuesday) ---NOTE CHANGE OF DATE FROM USUAL SECOND TUESDAY!!

PRESENTATION BY Paul DeLucia, Founder of Lean2Rescue, Inc. It started with just one lean-to that needed repair. After enlisting his friends and hiking the materials in themselves, Paul refurbished the lean-to. After that, and with the support of both the ADK 46ers and the NYS DEC, Paul has now enlisted over 150 volunteers and refurbished more than 50 lean-tos, in addition to removing and building a number of others. Paul is the sole recipient of the 2009 DEC Adirondack Stewardship Award. June 14 (2nd Tuesday) MONTHLY CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP MEETING 6:30 P.M. Education Session: Summer Gear Sale. Bring your extra camping and hiking gear to the sale. As with our winter gear sale in January, we ask that sellers donate 10% to the Chapter. Please tag your gear with a price and your name. Program: Pot Pourri Night: This is the Chapter’s version of “Oscar Nominated Shorts.” Sign up NOW to get on the roster of members who will show us their best shots from the past year’s adventures and rambles. We all love seeing your pictures of scenery, flora and fauna.... and you! Contact Thea at [email protected]. 2 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULE PARTICIPANTS’ RESPONSIBILITIES FITNESS: Know your level of fitness and limitations. The trip leader will ask questions about your experience, fitness, equipment, medical condition, expectations, etc. Be Honest! TRIP RATINGS: Understand that the level of effort is not the same as the level of difficulty. Trip ratings are for level of effort. Realize that “moderate” for a physically fit person may mean outrageously strenuous for a novice and/or unconditioned person. HIKERS EFFORT ELEVATION MILES TIME RATING LEVEL GAIN (FEET) (HOURS) A+ Very Strenuous 4,000+ 10+ 10+ A Strenuous 3,000+ 5 – 10 8 – 10 B+ Moderately Strenuous 2,000+ 5 – 10 6 – 8 B Moderate 1,000+ 8 --10 5 – 7 C+ Fairly Easy 1,000+ 5 – 8 4 – 6 C Easy Under 1,000 Under 5 Under 5 Not all trips fit cleanly into one of these categories. Whenever you are unclear about a rating for a trip, leaders will be happy to explain what their designated rating means. PADDLERS MILES PORTAGES WATER CLASS A 12+ Long (½ mile+) II – Whitewater B 6 – 12 Short I – Moving C Under 6 None Flat BIKERS MILES TERRAIN A 30+ Moderate to steep B 15-30 Moderate C Less than 15 Flat to Moderate Please Note: Unless otherwise stated, please sign up with the leader for all Chapter activities. Do not simply show up at the designated meeting place. Arrive at the carpooling site before the stated departure time. Please pay the driver to offset the costs of driving. Do not bring a pet unless the trip leader agrees that it is okay, and bring a leash. Please stay with the group or ask to proceed and stop at the first intersection and wait for the entire group to re-assemble. You are expected to carry adequate equipment, water and food. If in doubt about what to bring, ask the trip leader! Suggestions for all seasons: o Water: 2 - 3 Quarts o Layered Clothing (NO cotton) o Extra Socks o Hat o Shell (wind & rain) o Extra Sweater or Jacket o Headlamp o Gloves o Sturdy Boots o Sun Glasses/Screen (SPF 15) o First Aid Kit o Food o Map & Compass oWaterproof Matches o Emergency Blanket Winter Add-ons: q Skis or Snowshoes q Crampons q Ski Pole or Ice Axe o Extra Food o Warm liquids o Extra layers 3 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Recently it seems environmental issues are receiving long-overdue attention. Perhaps my perspective is biased because of the enthusiasm and awareness seen in young people through the courses I teach in environmental sciences. More broadly, however, evidence is available that interest in the environment and the outdoors has enjoyed a resurgence. More people are hiking and getting outdoors, bringing use of ADK's facilities to new highs and more visitors to the high peaks than ever before. More lands are being added to conserve open space and provide appropriate recreational use, with more acreage added to the Adirondacks in the last few years than in the prior 100 years all together. We are a sound voice at the table in how these lands should be used and in encouraging revisions to the State Land Use Master Plan, now being updated after 25 years. We are making strides in protecting the Taconics and in protecting lands through local organizations like Mohawk-Hudson Land Conservancy. Our chapter membership has grown, now approaching 2,100 people. Through your membership dues we directly support protection and appropriate use of the Taconic Crest Trail, promote young member participation in ADK, and facilitate the work of the ADK Professional Trail Crew. There is so much more to be done. Greater numbers of outdoor enthusiasts and new public lands each carry with them greater stewardship needs. Trails need so much more work, and summit protection is needed now more than ever. Controlling invasive species in both upland and aquatic environments needs our support. Advocacy means supporting full funding of the EPF, guiding appropriate changes in the state land use master plan and monitoring legislation. Education is at the heart of our mission with many school children being introduced through Heart Lake programs. In short, ADK CARES has the right message of conservation, advocacy, recreation, and education. Please consider providing more support to ADK--with your time, service and financial support. If our chapter donated only $20 more per person, that would provide another $42,000 that could be put to good use! If you agree that ADK's voice is one that represents your views well, also consider planned giving. Catherine Forbes is our new Director of Membership and Development; please reach out to her at [email protected] or via telephone at 518- 668-4447. Whatever way you choose to participate, take pride in our accomplishments to date, and look to ADK to provide the right leadership going forward. --Tom Hart, Spring 2016 Albany ADK Members Annual Photo Contest The Albany Chapter of ADK presents the Albany ADK Members Annual Photo Contest.

I was fortunate enough to ski into the Boreas Ponds once this winter. It’s a 6.7 mile ski one way to the dam.

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.
