Eight conservation groups jointly sent a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul urging the state to “act swiftly” to purchase and preserve Whitney Park. According to the the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, among the groups involved is the Adirondack Council, Protect the Adirondacks!, New York League of Conservation Voters, and Adirondack Wilderness Advocates. The move comes as the future of the enormous 36,000-acre tract of land, largely in northern Hamilton County, is uncertain.
