Hello. We are Walt Lender and Kristen Rohne, Executive Director and Director of Education for the Lake George Association respectively. At the Lake George Association, we protect Lake George water quality each day because we develop and perform in-the-ground projects (stormwater control, pollution control, erosion control) dedicated to keeping Lake George’s water pure, and we develop and deliver educational materials (delivered in school, to homeowners and on the Lake with our Floating Classroom) aimed at informing students and residents about what actions they can take to keep Lake George water clean and healthy. As Regional Directors for the Adirondack Lakes Alliance (ALA); we are here to share our expertise, information and resources, and to work together on similar issues surrounding our Adirondack Lakes. The ALA’s primary mission is to protect and preserve our Adirondack waters.
Protecting Adirondack waters is vital to both the ecology and economy of the Adirondack Park. Our waters are being challenged by similar water quality threats: silt and sediment from stormwater runoff due to development and erosion, the introduction of aquatic invasive species, habitat destruction, nuisance wildlife near public recreation areas causing health hazards, and nutrient increases causing increased algae growth. Each of these threats has a human dimension that can be reduced or eliminated though the actions of citizens.
The ALA represents the major stakeholders, property owners and recreational users of our waters. By working together we can collectively find solutions to protecting our Adirondack waters.
With ALA, we look forward to future discussions involving the protection and preservation of our waters. Please consider joining ALA, so you and your organization have the tools and resources to protect the waterways important to your community.
Please contact us with questions, resources, or to discuss issues affecting our waters.
