Lynn Schumann
November 16, 1963 - March 13, 2010
With Lynn's leadership as executive
director from 1999 to 2006, the Lake George Land Conservancy's membership
increased from 250 to 1,171, and had protected nearly 5,000 acres of land and
11,000 feet of shoreline. Lynn left LGLC in March of 2006 to take on the position of regional
director of the Land Trust Alliance.
"My greatest moment," Lynn said, "came
after we purchased the Pilot Knob Ridge Preserve on the east side of the lake.
The organization made a significant decision to remove the house situated
prominently on the hillside. It was a sunny spring morning when the wrecking
crew made its way up the mountain and began the process of demolishing the
house. I peered out over the ridge and saw some 40 boats anchored along the
shoreline cheering as the house came down."
Lynn passed away March 13, 2010, after a
courageous battle with breast cancer. She leaves behind many friends, family and
colleagues who loved and respected her, her passion for the environment, and her
passion for life.
