Protecting the land that protects the lake since 1988. 

The Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) is an accredited not-for-profit land trust dedicated to working with willing landowners and other partners to protect the world-renowned water quality of Lake George, New York, and to permanently preserve the natural, scenic, historic, and recreational resources of the Lake George region.

Founded in 1988, the LGLC uses progressive conservation strategies to work with landowners, government officials, conservation partners, volunteers, and supporters aimed at securing the protection of special natural places for future generations to enjoy. Lands are protected through fee acquisitions, donations, and conservation easements.

The LGLC’s land protection program has worked directly and with partners to permanently protect 12,194 acres of Lake George wilderness and more than 7 miles of lake shoreline, and owns and/or manages 15 featured parks and preserves that are open to the public year-round or by special request/restricted access with over 40 miles of trails for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and, at some preserves, hunting and snowmobiling.

The LGLC also offers public hikes, educational programs, and community events such as the spectacular Lake George Hike-A-Thon; develops interpretive materials for display and for public speaking opportunities; and utilizes the unique abilities and enthusiasm of community volunteers to fill a variety of roles including as program leaders and dedicated Preserve Stewards.
