The Alliance was created in 2007 to give voice to a common agenda through development of an annual Blueprint for the Blue Line (the blue line is the park’s boundary). We support the twin goals of environmental quality and economic vitality, with the hope of making the park and its communities sustainable for generations to come.
The theme for the 2020 Common Ground Alliance Forum will be Attracting a New Generation of Residents to the Adirondacks. We have selected this theme because we realize that – with aging populations – Adirondack communities face a serious demographic challenge, and we have heard time and again that community vitality is a common-ground issue that we need to be proactive to address. We are pleased to be working with the Northern Forest Center, who will help us guide this year’s discussions. The Center plans to utilize the results of the forum to shape a strategy for communities to position themselves for future population stability and growth.
The cost of registration is $20, or $10 for students. There is also a "pay what you can" option. 
Tannery Pond Community Center will reopen with guidelines in place for the health and safety of our visitors and staff. More details to be announced shortly...

“This was our first time rafting in the Adirondacks and it was a phenomenal experience! Ace was a spectacular guide and very knowledgeable about the local terrain and history of the surrounding area. He navigated us with ease and amplified the experience with his affable demeanor. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and hope to take on more challenging courses next time via the Moose or Black Rivers! Per one of the guests in our party, this was the "most fun" she's ever had in her life. We also really appreciated the commitment to sanitation of the equipment, given that most us in the group work in the hospital and have witnessed our share of dismissive businesses regarding safety procedures. We couldn't have asked for a better way to complete our weekend Adirondacks trip and definitely look forward to future adventures with ARO!”
“We appreciate all the hand sanitizer everywhere and the staff always wearing masks which made all of us feel very safe under the circumstances of COVID. We look forward to coming back for more adventures with ARO! Thanks again!”
“I was very comfortable with the COVID precautions and thought they were safely done. MADD DOG made the trip exciting and fun!”
“With all the COVID regulations and restrictions, you guys did a great job! lots of smiles in our group, thanks.”
Our managerial staff and guides tirelessly planned to make sure guests were provided with a positive and safe rafting experience under new COVID-19 guidelines. It has shown to be a collective effort on our end, but also a huge commitment from our guests. We are stoked to be doin’ what we do!
