About

Founded in 1988, Lake George Land Conservancy is a charity based in Bolton Landing, United States working on nature & wildlife conservation, environment & climate.

The Lake George Land Conservancy is an accredited nonprofit land trust based in Bolton Landing, New York, in the southeastern corner of the Adirondack Park. Since 1988 it has worked with willing landowners and partners to permanently protect land within the Lake George watershed, with the aim of safeguarding the lake's water quality and the natural, scenic, historical and recreational resources of the region. Its work includes land acquisition and conservation easements, stewardship and invasive species management, and managing nearly 40 miles of public trails and preserves. It runs public education, outdoor programmes and fundraising events, and relies on donations, grants, a volunteer Board of Directors and staff. The organisation is supported by a national land trust accreditation network.
