Adirondack Flooding Risk, Response, and Resilience

Thursday, August 6, 2026
from 9 am to 1 pm

The Adirondacks are defined by water - rushing rivers, quiet wetlands, mountain streams, and deep winter snowpack. But when that water moves faster, higher, and more unpredictably, it reshapes communities, landscapes, and lives.

This summer, join scientists, artists, community leaders, emergency responders, and residents from across the Adirondack region for a half-day conference highlighting one of the region’s most pressing challenges – flooding.

Together, we’ll explore what makes the Adirondacks vulnerable to powerful flood events, how communities have responded and adapted to flood damage, and how we can be better prepared for rising waters. More info, conference schedule, and tickets at wildcenter.org/flooding. 

TICKETS: $40 Wild Center Members, $45 General Admission
