OMG , there are millions of Gallons of Syrup not being made in the Adirondack Park alone ! The Buzz words are Forever Wild . The Tree Huggers think they are helping to Conserve wildlife . They don't have a clue that animals can't live in a Mature forest , as there is nothing for them to eat there . The Park is 3 million Acres more or less of mature Forest . aside from some private land mixed in here and there , the forest is pretty much left alone to grow and die . What a waste of a resource ! There used to be some huge Sugaring operations in the Adirondacks , one even had it's own Railroad !
