Started in 2021, AdkAction’s Fair Share project sponsors low-income families to participate in season-long Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farm share programs at no cost. This project builds equity in access, so low-income community members can take advantage of the health, environmental, and social benefits of participating in a CSA, while supporting small farms through upfront investment ahead of the growing season.
Since 2019 AdkAction has served as the fiscal sponsor for Placid Earth, a student-run composting business in Lake Placid.
Road Salt pollution is threatening Adirondack waters. Studies now show that Adirondack lakes and streams near roads are contaminated and drinking water wells are becoming contaminated at an alarming rate.
AdkAction and the ESF Ranger School are partnering on a pilot project to explore whether forestry log landings can be transformed into native pollinator habitat on working lands in the Adirondacks.
AdkAction is partnering with the Town of Indian Lake to transform a closed, capped landfill into an eight-acre native pollinator habitat. This three-year demonstration project will test how unused landfill sites across the Adirondacks can be restored to support bees, butterflies, and other vital pollinators.
We empower people to take individual and collective action to ensure a future where pollinators thrive, native habitat abounds, and Adirondack residents and visitors are engaged pollinator advocates.
