QUANTITY: 6 boxes ACCESS: Open to research ACQUISITION: PROCESSED BY: Margie Amodeo

Biographical Note: David Gibson earned a Masters in Environmental Studies from the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Early in his career he was mentored by Paul Schaefer. He was Executive Director of the Association for the Protection of the Adirondacks then Executive Director of Protect the Adirondacks from 1987 to 2010. During his tenure at the AfPA, the organization completed the Center for the Forest Preserve including the Adirondack Research Library, at Paul Schaefer’s home. David Gibson is currently a partner in Adirondack Wild: Friends of the Forest Preserve. Scope and Content Note: Files reflect both the issues the AfPA addressed and the various avenues the organization pursued affecting vital policy decisions during the period Gibson was Executive Director. The primary focus of the collection is land use and development within both the public and privately owned lands of the Adirondack Park. The collection includes special published reports printed by the AfPA and other organizations, resources gathered in research, materials collected during participation in committees, and correspondence lobbying legislators independently and collectively with other conservation organizations. It also contains organizational materials for conferences and events. Box 5 and a significant portion of Box 6 contain materials on issues involving the APA, in particular the 1996-1997 restructuring of regulations and procedures within the agency. These boxes also contain materials from 1992 to 1993 when many hydroelectric dams in NYS were required to apply for relicensing. This renewed the debate as to the role and value of hydroelectric dams within the Adirondack Park. The collection remains in its original order and folders labeled with their original titles listed here in quotation marks.
