Lyme Adirondack Forest Company
In 2006, Lyme acquired approximately 278,000 acres of land in New York’s Adirondack State Park from International Paper. The property comprises the second largest private forestland ownership in the state of New York and includes some of the region’s highest quality sugar maple stands as well as a diversity of other hardwood and softwood species. The property also includes frontage on a number of scenic rivers and access to undeveloped ponds and lakes in the Adirondacks.
Lyme helped conserve the property through the sale of a working forest conservation easement to the State of New York in 2007. Key conservation partners included The Conservation Fund, Coastal Enterprises, Inc. and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. During its decades of managing this property, Lyme has established strong relationships with the local community and received the Adirondack Legacy Leader Award from the Adirondack Council in 2025 in recognition of its role in shaping the Adirondack Park.
The property is managed and certified to the SFI ® and FSC ® Forest Management Standards to ensure sustainable management and conservation of the forest resource.
LAFCo is based in Queensbury, New York with a log yard in Chestertown, New York. Eric Ross serves as the General Manager.
