Northern New York's Adirondack Mountains and the six million acres of the Adirondack Park evolved from a rugged, forested wilderness into a playground for the wealthy. Great camps where out-of-state tourists stay in luxury stand alongside economically struggling communities. Although some look to the Adirondack Park as a model for preservation, others, especially year-round locals, are critical of the park's persistent poverty marked by blatant inequality. These disputes are imbedded in the history of the region, as the creation of the park and expansion in the nineteenth century led to layers of land use regulation and bureaucratic control that resulted in competing special interests. Local author Andrew Egan explores the park's roots, how it became a rich man's paradise and the challenges facing the local community.

Let customers speak for us
I decided to give this a try. I have tiny wrinkles on my eyes. This oil almost seems like a miracle. Around your eyes the skin is very delicate. I found this soothing. You notice the difference in just a few days. It’s a wonderful product that is noticeable by others. It’s a guilty secret.
I had been really struggling with constant aching. I saw a review of this and decided to check it out for myself. The result was almost immediate relief. I’m sorry I waited so long to try it.
If you never trusted the fit of Yoga pants, I didn't and now I do. I had to jump right back online after wearing them and get additional colors of the Bella Performance Leggings. Typically, leggings are too short for me and not only is the actual fit is perfect, but the length is spot on! Dress them up or dress them down for home or out of town. I am in love with these!
Smells good and feel super confident that the bugs will stay away!!
I had an ugly open sore on my thumb. Closed within two days. And the bump is dissolving too. I keep it hidden with a bandaid but can't wait till it's totally gone. Honey Boo Is the best
Love my new shirt so comfy
I love this product so much. I had breast cancer surgery in 2018 and this helped with the scars so much. We moved to PA and my new oncologist marveled at how minimal scars are and had a difficult time finding them. Thank you Angel for one more incredible product.
You are Getting on my Nerves works great! It’s helping the pain in my ear so much!
My husband is NOT a morning person at all. He puts this on every morning and he said it really helps him get going!
Placing another order now!!
I have a 6th grader with ADHD,who we have chose not to medicate and we have tried everything. This is week two of the gummies and Friday we got a very promising and positive email from one of his teachers.
This roll on is the best! I put it on before I go to work everyday and it keeps my “inner beast” at bay! I would be lost without this. I will ever is CYAWD along with it before I go to my Mom’s house right now. She has been challenging lately!
Digs love them and they seem calmer. Need more though
Great material inside and out and the elastic holds tightly. Highly recommend.
This product is a little miracle in a bottle. My hand went from cracked to healed in a few weeks. Highly recommend!!!
