I can easily imagine many of the towns/cities in which I lived or visited during my 26-year career in the U.S. Air Force as simply caving in should a mammoth nature-destroying development ever come to their backyards. Not so in the Adirondack Park, which is across Lake Champlain from where I am typing this. Americans tend to easily forget, or just overlook, the fact that Nature is not making any new land these days. Once natural land has been built on or paved over, that’s the end, and Wild Nature is once again diminished. Read about the proposal to build a nw housing empire at Tupper Lake in the Adirondacks.
