Our fun fact this week is that loons are closely related to penguins! Research shows that they share an evolutionary branch, and they are closer to penguins in dna than ducks! 🐧

Unfortunately, we in the ADKs aren't immune to the fires that seem to ravage Canada and California every year.

Luckily this wildfire in the High Peaks has only burned about 1/4 acre, and New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation says that forest rangers are on site fighting the fire.

Best wishes for luck and safety to all our Rangers!

It’s been a Smokey week! In case you didn’t know the cause of the orange muted skies and hazy sun, it’s smoke! There have been multiple wild fires in Canada and Minnesota over the past week and wind patterns have pushed all the smoke over the Adirondacks and all of upstate NY. Be careful going out side the next couple days as the air quality is going to be very poor.
