The Adirondack Park began as a great experiment determined to prove that humans and nature could thrive side by side. While the natural communities have blossomed, the human communities have not. Based on nearly a decade of in-the-trenches Adirondack reporting, this presentation examines what went wrong, how it can be fixed and why our communities are best built not from the top down but from the bottom up.
