Wise words...get out early to uplift your whole day: a few deep, mindful breaths of crisp air as you take in the morning sky, and listen for morning birdsong or the breeze in the trees? A few minutes can make your day.

So much to learn about the people who lived and cared for this land!

For thousands of years, the Adirondacks have been home to indigenous people, the Abenaki and the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois). Explore museums celebrating both the past and present, visit historic sites, enjoy nature, and engage with artists, storytellers, and more.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

We feel so deeply grateful for all the gifts of the more than human world, which support us every day with food, shelter, medicines, and wisdom, when we listen attentively. We are grateful for the aerosol filled air of our Adirondack forests that uplift our mood and boost our immune system!

We are equally grateful for you, who participate in our programs and/or follow us on social media. You make our work more meaningful. You allow us to share this truth: the natural world is sentient and longs to know each one of us.

“In The Lost World of the Kalahari, Laurens van der Post writes about living among the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert and describes how shocked they were that he couldn’t hear the stars. At first they thought he must be joking or lying. When they realized he really couldn’t hear the stars, they concluded he must be very ill and expressed great sorrow. For the Bushmen knew anyone who can’t hear nature must have the gravest sickness of all.
For nearly all of the time humans have been on the planet, regular conversations across the species border were an everyday natural part of life. Humanity’s ability to perceive the sentience of Earth is critical to our survival and to all life on Earth.
And perhaps the natural world longs for this relationship with us too...”
