After the budget, a look ahead

NYS capital buildingAs Adirondack Explorer’s policy reporter Gwen Craig reported this week, the Restore Mother Nature Bond Act passed its first hurdle with the passing of New York’s budget, but obstacles remain: https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/restore-mother-nature-bond-act-leaps-first-hurdle-but-more-lie-ahead-as-economy-wilts

Commentary has been coming in celebrating the passing of this historic legislation, with the Adirondack Council, ADK and other groups praising state leadership for keeping an eye on the big picture, even in the midst of a pandemic. Tomorrow, we’ll hear from John Davis of the Rewilding Institute on why the bond act is needed now more than ever.
