Filming Location

Because of their unique environmental education opportunities, breathtaking beauty and helpful staff, the Paul Smiths and Newcomb VIC properties and programs have been filmed for local television newscasts, regional outdoor recreation television shows and national travel programs for television.

The VICs have been featured on WPTZ Newschannel 5 in Plattsburgh; WCAX-TV Channel 3 in Burlington; the "Adirondack Outdoors" show on WCFE-TV Mountain Lake PBS in Plattsburgh; and "The Seasoned Traveler" with George Bauer, a nationally syndicated PBS program.

See for yourself why the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park is worth protecting. With 236 acres of the Huntington Wildlife Forest along Rich Lake in Newcomb and 2,885 acres of preserved land in Paul Smiths, the VICs offer almost every kind of natural community found in the Adirondack Park, with beautiful scenery of ponds, streams, lakes, wetlands and mountains.

Here are some filming ideas (notice, they're all outside activities):

Capture images of butterflies and moths up close in the Paul Smiths VIC's Native Species Butterfly House.
Walk through rare boreal habitat, home to gray jays, black-backed woodpeckers and other boreal bird species.
Take the guesswork out of finding a common loon; it's as easy as taking a short walk to Black Pond at the Paul Smiths VIC.
See Adirondack moose habitat, maybe even a moose (although extremely rare), and find out why this species is making a big comeback in New York state.
Learn all about the Adirondack outdoors - flora and fauna - with people who know the outdoors, our VIC naturalists, who are all Certified Interpretive Guides through the National Association for Interpretation.
Track animals in the winter.
Learn how to ski or snowshoe.
See our Adirondack raptors, which are non-releasable education birds: eastern screech owl, American kestral, barred owl, great-horned owl, northern saw-whet owl and red-tailed hawk.
Take an interpretive canoe trip with a VIC naturalist.
Capture the glorious colors of autumn for a leaf-peeping feature.
