Lake George Land Conservancy: Protecting the Land That Protects Lake George

In this episode of the ADK Talks podcast, our guest is Sarah Hoffman from Lake George Land Conservancy.
In this episode of ADK Talks, we explore the connection between the quality of the water in Lake George and the preservation of its surrounding land. Our guest, Sarah Hoffman from the Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC), will shed light on the ripple effect of land conservation on this iconic lake, the Queen of American Lakes.
Sarah joins us to explain how keeping land wild keeps water clean, why your favorite swimming spot depends on smart preservation, and how LGLC works behind the scenes to protect the lake you love, from its mountaintop views to its crystal-clear depths.
