§ 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. Five brands get in at year-one pricing, with category exclusivity, before the editorial brand compounds. After year one, founding-partner slots close.

§ The data moat

Coverage no other Adirondack site has, and the moat compounds.

The data layer is the credibility. Every named entity in the Park has its own page; every page carries live conditions, schema.org metadata, and editorial cross-links. AI Overviews cite us because our pages are structured to be cited.

§ The conservation story

Align your brand with America's largest Forever Wild forest 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, and it's why the Park exists at the scale it does 1892 years later.

For brands with ESG, sustainability, or conservation programs, sponsoring the editorial brand of this preserve is one of the most authentic alignments available. We write about low-impact tourism. We surface DEC advisories and Leave No Trace ethics on every backcountry page. We cover the working land trusts and stewardship organizations that keep the Park what it is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 →
