The Adirondack Museum, located in Blue Mountain Lake, New York, commissioned a survey in 1990 to learn what New Yorkers, especially those who call the Adirondacks their home, thought about proposed safeguards for the region's environment and people proposed by the Commission on the Adirondacks for the 21st Century. Two major goals of the study were: an in-depth study of New York residents' attitudes towards specific recommendations and programs for future management in the Adirondack Park; and, obtaining comparative data on four major groups having an interest in the future of the Adirondacks: full-time Adirondack residents, part-time residents of the Adirondacks, New York residents who visit the Adirondacks, and visitors to the Adirondacks from outside the state. The data collected from 475 people provide timely information on people's attitudes towards contemporary Adirondack issues. The findings of this study, consistent with the educational mission of the Adirondack Museum, serve a public purpose by clarifying attitudes regarding issues of importance.
