Adirondacks News

Before I pause for the summer break, here are a few tidbits of online Adirondack news.

You may recall that I mentioned the naturalist Ed Kanze as well as the nature museum, The Wild Center, in recent blog entries. Both have popped up in online news at http://mountainlake.org.

I mentioned that Ed Kanze gives nature walks at White Pine Camp a few times a week. He is also a noted local journalist and contributor to Public Broadcasting Service. He is currently co-producing a series of short videos called "Curiously Adirondack," which will be posted online at http://mountainlake.org. The project is getting matching funds from PBS, and is described here, along with requests for donations to help fund the project.

Here is the video promoting the project:




The Wild Center is currently working on a skywalk to give their visitors a bird's eye view of the forrest. You can see an interesting report about the project here:



When I return, I will be back with another story along the lines of my most recent blog entry "10 Things to do / Places to go in the Adirondacks that don't involve (climbing) mountains." One of our friends at White Pine Camp noted that I had missed a place of historical interest, Essex, NY. More about that later!
