Protecting the Land that Protects the Lake since 1988

The LGLC’s 2024 Spring/Summer issue of viewshed is now available! Packed with conservation projects, stewardship activities, events, and the people who make it all happen, this issue was worth the wait.

Paper copies will be reaching mailboxes soon, or you can read it online now!

On July 10, the LGLC permanently protected 42 acres of forested land in the Town of Lake George through the purchase of a conservation easement (CE) from the Wiawaka Center for Women.

After providing decades of service to hikers visiting the Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob, the iconic gazebo will be rebuilt in 2025 to ensure the safety of our guests, and keep the integrity of the preserve.

We are hosting events (including a dog photo contest!), selling a custom designed poster (pictured), and asking for support to help raise the final $40,000 needed to complete this construction, as well as related trail improvements leading up to the gazebo.

The LGLC is currently accepting applications for a full-time Events and Fundraising Coordinator! This person will engage the community through communications, educational programs and events, as well as help foster donor relationships, and support our fundraising efforts.

LGLC Executive Director Mike Horn was recently interviewed on LookTV to discuss some of our latest projects and how we're protecting the land that protects the lake.
