ELIZABETHTOWN — In celebration of Earth Day, April 22, the Adirondack Council awarded 21 micro-grants totaling $29,601 to local farmers and value-added food producers, in an effort to build a climate-friendly local economy in the Adirondack Park.
“The Adirondack Park’s clean water, clean air, wildlife, wilderness and communities are threatened by climate change. We want to help farmers throughout the Adirondack region to be climate friendly, energy efficient and more sustainable,” said Adirondack Council Executive Director William C. Janeway. “Investing in our local food system now can bring benefits for years to come.”
