The Lake George Land Conservancy safeguards the water quality of Lake George and the surrounding watershed by protecting:

• Undeveloped lake shoreline
• Wetlands and stream corridors
• Upland intact forest communities
• Rare, threatened, and endangered species
• Scenic vistas

• Direct acquisition (purchase and/or donation) of conservation easements
• Sound science and effective stewardship
