West Brook Conservation Initiative
Together, the Lake George Land Conservancy, Lake George Association and the
Fund for Lake George are working in partnership to transform the dilapidated
Gaslight Village area into an environmental park and protect vulnerable upland
headwater areas. This $15 million effort is the biggest environmental project
ever attempted on Lake George.
On January 22, 2008 LGLC purchased the 1,436-acre Berry Pond tract in
southern Lake George, marking the largest dollar purchase in LGLC history and
the largest acreage purchased at one time from a single landowner. The purchase,
made possible in part through a loan from the Open Space Conservancy and funding
provided by the Helen V. Froehlich Foundation, was an integral step in the West
Brook Conservation Initiative as the property includes the headwaters of West
Brook.
