The Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and inspiring passion for the conservation of Common Loons. With the loon as our centerpiece, the work of the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation encompasses scientific research, educational outreach, and conservation and management to help protect and support healthy populations of Common Loons in New York State and throughout North America.
Dr. Nina Schoch is the Executive Director of the Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation, and has studied loons in New York’s Adirondack Park since 1998. A wildlife veterinarian and rehabilitator, she also has a master’s degree in Natural Resources/Wildlife Management. Dr. Schoch practiced small animal medicine in New York’s Adirondack Park from 1991-2002, is a member of numerous conservation and wildlife health related organizations, and has written many scientific and lay articles about the results of the Adirondack loon research. She received the 2018 Adirondack Research Consortium’s Elizabeth Thorndike Adirondack Achievement Award, the 2011 NYS Outdoor Writers Association M.
