If you’re a true High Peaks native, join us for the last leg of the ADK Town Hall Tour at the SUNY-ESF Adirondack Interpretive Center at 6:00 PM Saturday, Jan 27.

In addition to refreshments and family-oriented activities, these two free town hall events will feature presentations from experts and advocates about the environmental and health impacts of road salt contamination in water supplies, and what communities and decision-makers can do to mitigate contamination.

Poestenkill residents need to know about what is going on, how to keep their water clean, and what should be done. Local nonprofit WICC is hosting a free educational webinar for residents about what is going on and what our Upstate Water Contamination Project is doing to help.
