This was a big week for Mountainkeeper in Albany, as both houses of the NY legislature proposed to fund the Catskills and Adirondack Forest Preserves stewardship work with $10 million. Both proposals included funding for our stewards program, and the Senate included the big policy pieceโthe Climate and Community Protection Fund (CCPF)โthat weโve been working on with our NY Renews coalition partners. The CCPF will establish fair, equitable, and transparent funding streams for climate solutions and itโs an important piece of the puzzle needed to get NY State to a clean and just climate future. [โฆ]
