| Formed in 1990, the Residents' Committee to Protect the Adirondacks (RCPA) is the grassroots voice for Adirondack residents, year-round and seasonal, natives and newcomers, who desire to see the natural resources and rural communities of the Adirondack Park protected in perpetuity. The RCPA pursues this agenda through grassroots organizing, advocacy, research, education, and legal action. The RCPA is led by a Board of Directors, has 3,000 member households, and is headquartered in North Creek, in the central Adirondacks. |
