No Motors in Wilderness!
The Adirondack Park Agency (APA) has proposed a series of amendments to the Adirondack Park State Land Master Plan (SLMP). Some of the proposed language could lead to inappropriate use of motorized vehicles in Wilderness areas and on Forest Preserve foot trails.
We the undersigned fully and enthusiastically support reasonable and lawful use of devices to help those with mobility impairments enjoy the Forest Preserve. We say YES to the use of battery-powered wheelchairs on any trail in the Forest Preserve that allows foot traffic. But we say NO to other motorized vehicles in the Wilderness, such as ATVs. We also say NO to the open-ended allowance of motorized equipment to remove non-conforming structures.
