Events & Programs

Join the LGLC for a Paint & Sip at our office to help you shake off the winter cold and gear up for spring! Artist and teacher Patrice Jarvis-Weber will teach a beginner painting class appropriate for adults as well as children 10 and up.

Complimentary wine will be provided for the adults thanks to Adirondack Winery * and hot chocolate will be available for the kids!

The subject matter for the painting will be the Trillium, a beautiful native Adirondack wildflower which is known to appear in April and May and heralds the onset of spring. The class will last about 1.5-2 hours and participants will take home a finished piece of art using acrylic paints on an 8″ x 10″ stretched canvas.

The class size will be limited to 15 people and the cost is $20 per person, covering all materials and painting supplies.

Should the class need to be cancelled, an alternative date of Thursday, May 9th will be used. Advance registration is required.

About Patrice:

Patrice Jarvis-Weber has been organizing and teaching art in our area for over 20 years. She has taught children and adults in libraries, art centers, and senior centers. Among those facilities are LARAC, Saratoga Arts, and World Awareness Children’s Museum. In addition she led workshops at Glens Falls YMCA After School Care, SUNY Adirondack, BOCES, and Double H Ranch. Her focus is to introduce art to those who have never done it before.

The beaver has changed the American landscape more than any creature other than Man. Its industrious nature and hardy disposition allow it to create suitable habitat wherever it goes. Valuable beaver fur fueled development, westward expansion, and war in the infancy of our country. Join NYS DEC Wildlife Technician Jessica Haggerty as she leads a guided hike through Amy’s Park and learn about the natural and political ways this humble rodent has shaped the landscape, and our country.

This walk also coincides with National Trails Day! National Trails Day is the only nationally coordinated event designed to unite all muscle-powered trail activities with the goal of connecting more people to trails. Each year, on the first Saturday of June, American Hiking Society and the trails community invite Americans of all ages and abilities to find their own adventure and discover their unique story at one of the thousands of events hosted throughout the country.

All ages and skills levels are welcome. Registration coming soon.

The forest of the Lake George Land Conservancy’s Cook Mt. Preserve has become overtaken by invasive shrubby honeysuckle. Help us cut and pull these aggressive invaders so that native plants can move back in and restore the forest to a healthier place for wildlife. There is a LOT of honeysuckle, so many hands are needed!

No RSVP required – stop by the preserve any day, any time between 10 am and 1 pm and stay as little or as long as you can. Encourage your friends to lend a hand too! Any amount of time helps!

Bring work gloves, branch clippers and a great attitude! Sturdy shoes, long sleeves and pants, and insect repellent are suggested to protect against scratches and ticks.

Meet on Baldwin Road just North of Cook Mt. Preserve.  Click here for Google map directions.
