New York (State). Temporary Study Commission on the Future of the Adirondacks

The Temporary Study Commission on the Future of the Adirondacks was appointed by Governor Rockefeller in 1968 to investigate issues that would impact on Adirondack Park use, including private and public lands; wildlife; forest; minerals, water and air; transportation and the economy; recreation; and local government.

The studies and recommendations of the commission led directly to the creation of the Adirondack Park Agency (Laws of 1971, Chapter 706).
