The Adirondacks
Description
On six million acres in upstate New York, the Adirondack Park is by far the largest park in the lower 48 states - larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Canyon National Parks combined. Yet it is the only park on the continent in which land is divided almost evenly between protected wilderness and privately owned tracts, creating a pattern of ownership that maintains a delicate relationship between progress and preservation. Through the perspectives of several passionate characters, this program explores the history, seasonal landscape, and current state of the Adirondacks.
