Our Mission
It is the mission of ACAL to keep the Southern Tug Hill towns of Ava, Boonville, Lewis and Leyden safe from any authority, organization, company or individual who seek to harm its lands, waters, wildlife and memorials for any reason. ACAL wishes to provide future generations the opportunity to experience these rural towns as they were meant to be: forever wild.
It is the mission and vision of ACAL to selflessly work to conserve rural towns in order to ensure our lands, waters, wildlife and memorials are forever held in the highest esteem for generations to come.
Our Vision
ACAL envisions the creation of a Veterans' Memorial Park surrounding the original 798-acres of the existing Memorial Forest. The Veterans' Memorial Park will be a New York State landmark for all American veterans and their families, and for guests to enjoy the beauty of the Adirondack Mountain foothills. The Veterans' Memorial Park will include a paved visitor's tour road and bike path, hiking and cross-country ski trails, monuments gardens, picnic areas, pavilions, and a Veterans' Memorial Chapel. The park will include forever wild areas where the area's abundant wetlands, water sources, and wildlife can be protected, viewed and respected from a distance.
