PERSPECTIVE:
VOLUME 23 3
The Adirondack Journal of Environmental Studies (AJES) exists to foster a dialogue about
the broad range of issues that concern the Adirondacks and Northern Forest. AJES serves to bridge the
gaps among academic disciplines and among researchers and practitioners devoted to understanding and
promoting the development of sustainable communities, both human and wild. The journal purposefully
avoids serving as a vehicle for any single or special point of view. To the contrary, in searching for
common ground AJES welcomes variety and a broad spectrum of perspectives from its contributors.
