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.

If you’ve ever marveled at the clarity of Lake George and thought, “Wow, this place is magical,”—well, it's not magic. It's science, strategy, and a lot of passion.

Whether you're a paddler, hiker, lakeside lounger, or full-on eco-nerd, this episode connects the dots between conservation and sustainability—and shows how you, as an individual, can be a significant part of the solution.

🎧 Listen now to learn how saving land today protects water for generations to come.
