Adirondack Wild: Friends of the Forest Preserve has honored the work of
Nicole “Nicky”’ Hylton-Patterson, the executive director of the Adirondack
Diversity Initiative, a project of the Adirondack North Country Association
(ANCA).

The group presented her with Adirondack Wild’s 2020 Wild Stewardship Award
