§ The Pitch
The Adirondack Park has been a Forever Wild forest preserve since 1892. It’s larger than Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Great Smoky Mountains, Glacier, and Grand Canyon combined. It receives more annual visits than any of them. And until recently it hasn’t had a single editorial brand built natively for the way visitors actually plan trips today — through AI search, mobile, and live data.
We’re building it. Every named lake, peak, and trail in the Park is mapped. Every region has its own editorial page. Live webcams, DEC advisories, and weather overlay the entire data layer. Long-form field guides, curated lists, and a signed editorial column anchor the voice. AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews — already pull answers from our pages because every page is structured to be cited.
The founding-partner offer is a window. A small founding class gets in at year-one pricing, with category exclusivity, before the editorial brand compounds. After year one, the founding window closes.

§ The Conservation Story
Align your brand with America’s largest Forever Wild preserve.
The Adirondack Park exists because of a constitutional provision — Article XIV of the New York State Constitution — guaranteeing that the lands are kept “forever wild.” It’s the strongest land-protection standard in the United States. For brands with ESG, sustainability, or conservation programs, sponsoring the editorial brand of this preserve is one of the most authentic alignments available.
And we put our money where the pitch is: 5% of every sponsorship dollar goes to Adirondack Land Trust, Adirondack Mountain Club, or Adirondack Council — your choice of recipient.

§ Why Us
What makes this editorial, not advertising.
Editorial integrity is the product.§ Integrity
Sponsors don't buy edits to picks. Our editor's picks, curated lists, and Journal essays are independent of the partner program. The pitch is brand association — not paid placement in editorial.
No banner ads, no popups, no chains.§ Register
Featured slots are reserved for locally-owned operators and our partners. National chains are filtered out of editorial trios across the site. The visual register stays editorial — not directory.
Built for the AI-search era.§ AI-search
Every detail page carries FAQPage and schema.org markup. We publish an /llms.txt site description for AI agents. When the next generation of buyers asks ChatGPT “best paddling lakes Adirondacks” our pages are what gets cited — and your brand is on the page.
A founder you can call.§ A person
This isn't a programmatic ad inventory marketplace. Partnerships are agreed by email, signed on a one-page agreement, and renewed by conversation. About the founder →
