The Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) is an environmental services organization based in Paul Smiths, New York, operating within the Adirondack region. It supports watershed protection and habitat conservation through scientific research, stewardship, and education, working with local communities, lake associations, and public agencies to monitor water quality and manage invasive species, among other activities. AWI maintains the region’s longest-running, state-collected water quality dataset and runs an on-site environmental laboratory, enabling data-driven assessments to inform local decisions and policy on issues such as road salt, harmful algal blooms, and overall watershed integrity. The institute delivers services that include aquatic invasive species management, water quality monitoring, ecological and recreational studies, and public education, while engaging in partner programs like boat inspections and community stewardship initiatives. Founded and operated through the Paul Smith’s College ecosystem, AWI also provides hands-on training and employment opportunities for students and community members, fostering the next generation of environmental leaders and researchers in the Adirondacks.
