The North Country Trail
Author: United States. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Government publications
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
On October 2, 1968, the Congress of the United States enacted the National Trails System Act, Public Law 90-543. The North Country Trail is one of 14 potential trails named in the Act to be studied. It would extend from the Appalachian Trail in Vermont approximately 3,200 miles through the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohion, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota to the proposed Lewis and Clark Trail in North Dakota. The Act calls for a determination of its feasibility and desirability for its designation as a National Scenic Trail in the National Trails System and, if it is found to merit inclusion, recommendations are to be developed for its administration and management. The study culminates with this report, which recommends establishment of a North Country Trail as a component of the National Trails System.

A Wild Idea
Author: Brad Edmondson
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501759035
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
A Wild Idea shares the complete story of the difficult birth of the Adirondack Park Agency (APA). The Adirondack region of New York's rural North Country forms the nation's largest State Park, with a territory as large as Vermont. Planning experts view the APA as a triumph of sustainability that balances human activity with the preservation of wild ecosystems. The truth isn't as pretty. The story of the APA, told here for the first time, is a complex, troubled tale of political dueling and communities pushed to the brink of violence. The North Country's environmental movement started among a small group of hunters and hikers, rose on a huge wave of public concern about pollution that crested in the early 1970s, and overcame multiple obstacles to "save" the Adirondacks. Edmondson shows how the movement's leaders persuaded a powerful Governor to recruit planners, naturalists, and advisors and assign a task that had never been attempted before. The team and the politicians who supported them worked around the clock to draft two visionary land-use plans and turn them into law. But they also made mistakes, and their strict regulations were met with determined opposition from local landowners who insisted that private property is private. A Wild Idea is based on in-depth interviews with five dozen insiders who are central to the story. Their observations contain many surprising and shocking revelations. This is a rich, exciting narrative about state power and how it was imposed on rural residents. It shows how the Adirondacks were "saved," and also why that campaign sparked a passionate rebellion.
