From the presence of indigenous cultures to the hotly contested social construction of wilderness and judicial interpretations of the “forever wild” provision in the New York constitution, the idea of wilderness in the Adirondacks remains a slippery and controversial concept. How can we talk about Adirondack wilderness in the 21st century?
