In the latest of a series of challenges to the integrity of New York's Adirondack Park, a New York Supreme Court judge has upheld the "reasonable" regulation of public lands within the Park that are constitutionally protected as "forever wild." The ruling reinforces earlier New York decisions affirming the validity of the Park and its management but raises potentially troublesome legal and tactical questions about the Park's future. In light of the Park's controversial and innovative nature, renewed challenges are certain but it now appears that discretionary administration of the Park will be insulated to the satisfaction of neither preservationists nor developers and residents.
