Citizen Participation

 

Citizen Involvement and Active Participation

The Adirondack ATBI will rely on community involvement and citizen participation.  The ways in which citizens (including groups, educators, individuals, etc.) can become involved and actively participate in all stages of the ATBI, including but not limited to inventory, education, and administration.  See The User’s Guide to the Adirondack ATBI for ways to participate and for contacts. 

 

Appreciation of Place-Based Biodiversity through Art, Culture and Community

Appreciation of biological diversity and natural environments and connection to the land are common themes expressed by writers, painters, photographers, and singers in the Adirondacks.  In many respects, these people are the story-tellers who will help the Adirondack ATBI to realize the mission and vision of the project.  In this spirit we wish to capture and use to effectively make the ATBI part of the visible and subtle fabric of life in the Adirondacks.  See The User’s Guide to the Adirondack ATBI for ways to participate and for contacts.
