Make a Donation to ADK


MAKE A DONATION TO ADK…and help ensure that our wild lands and waters remain a magnificent natural resource for generations to come.

A donation to ADK is a commitment to what you value most about our wild lands and waters. If you are committed to open spaces, support ADK’s efforts to identify and protect as “Forever Wild” the most critical private lands within the Adirondack Park and Catskill Park. If you desire a healthy natural environment, support ADK’s fight to protect Northeastern lakes, rivers, and forests from the devastating contaminates in Acid Rain. If you understand the importance of environmental education, support our Education Program’s efforts to reach out to outdoor recreationists, visitors to the Adirondacks, and local communities. If you love hiking, paddling, climbing, nordic skiing, and snowshoeing, support ADK’s Trails Program…we complete more trail maintenance in New York State than any other organization.

ADK appreciates your concern for the wild lands and waters. We ask that you please give generously to ADK or to the program, service, or capital project you are most committed to.
