"Anothura troglodytes [Troglodytes troglodytes - Winter Wren]-No.
585, August 11, 1875. Rather common in the dense woods, but rarely
seen ... it is often heard; however, for it possesses a gushing,
ringing song, wonderfully loud for so small a creature; excepting
the thrushes it is the sweetest songster in the Adirondac woods
..."
-- Teddy Roosevelt, age 16, from his pamphlet The Summer
Birds of the Adirondacks in Franklin County, N.Y.

APA Research, Science and Planning Policy
With its mix of public and private lands, the Adirondack Park provides
a rich landscape for the research of natural and cultural resources.
 Throughout
its more than a quarter-century of operation, the Adirondack Park
Agency (APA) has built scientific, geographic, and planning databases
to be able to serve the public more effectively and efficiently,
to aid the decision-making process for other State agencies, local
governments, organizations and landowners in the Park, and to encourage
more research involvement within the Park by universities.
