State authorities are reaching out to the public for assistance in locating a 73-year-old camper who was reported missing in the central Adirondacks last month, and who has not been seen since early August.
A New York State Police press release said that on Aug. 17, they were notified of a possible missing person, Craig K. Streeter, of Mahopac, in Putnam County. Streeter was last heard from on Aug. 2 and was last seen that same day at the Stewarts Shop convenience store in Indian Lake, in Hamilton County.

In July, the Adirondack Land Trust announced it had purchased 2,390 acres in the Essex County town of Chesterfield for permanent conservation.
A press release said the land trust plans to hold the parcel for future transfer to New York State, eventually adding all 2,390 acres to the Adirondack Forest Preserve within the Adirondack Park. The land will become available to the public for outdoor recreation, including hunting, hiking, and birdwatching.

Modern conservation and wildlife management seem increasingly reliant on cutting edge technology as thermal cameras, drones, GPS trackers, PIT tags and more play a role in understanding various animal populations.
Sometimes, there’s just no substitute for hands-on science. Wisconsin agencies and conservation groups band an estimated 10,000 birds annually, one of the most ambitious banding operations in the nation.

No one will argue about the passion and dedication of ruffed grouse hunters. This is especially true in the Upper Midwest and parts of the Northeast, but they come in a distant second to the cadre of upland game bird hunters who call the ring-necked pheasant king.
More pheasants are harvested and more hours are spent chasing them then any other upland bird. And for these diehard hunters, at least in the most productive pheasant country, this season could be a good one.

We recently learned the shocking news that after 161 years of operation the Finch Pruyn paper mill will no longer be conducting Adirondack logging operations and will cease buying pulpwood for its Glens Falls mill.
About 15 years ago – under new management – we began noticing trucks coming out of the Adirondacks loaded with very small diameter pulpwood. I saw a few trucks that had no wood bigger than six inches in diameter. With the previous owners the wood on those trucks averaged between ten inches and eighteen inches in diameter.

Don’t look now, but Wisconsin’s 2026 archery deer season is upon us (it started Sept. 12), and that means the rifle season isn’t all that far away any longer.
There are a few things deer hunters of all stripes might want to keep in mind for this year. All of this is per the Department of Natural Resources. The antlerless-only holiday hunt will run Dec. 24 through Jan. 1, 2027, in 48 counties. Then 42 of those counties are extending the archery season through Jan. 31, 2027. Check each farmland zone county for the number of antlerless “tags” that will be issued with each license.

Nick Rowell and Jake Dunkley emerged from the waters of Brant Lake holding a variety of small plants, tossing out names such as bladderwort and pondweed.
