Current Issues
ADK's Conservation and Advocacy program provides effective advocacy at all levels of government for the protection of the Forest Preserve and other wild lands and waters vital to ADK members. The links below provide up-to-date information on current issues.
Marcellus Shale
For more than a year, ADK's Public Affairs Office has been deeply involved in issues surrounding potential gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale, an underground formation that stretches from the Catskills to Lake Erie. We are particularly concerned about potential drilling in Allegany State Park and in other natural areas used by ADK members. Here are some documents related to our advocacy efforts.
