WHAT:
Once again, this year, the LGWC Annual Forum is
being held to provide all who live, work,
recreate, and/or has an interest in the
Lake George Watershed, and opportunity to
learn about and discuss issues that face
Lake George, as well as how to become better
stewards of the lake. Additionally,
attendees will have the opportunity to learn
more about the coordinated efforts of the
LGWC member organizations to protect and
preserve the lake's water quality and
surrounding natural resources. In
particular the focus topic of this year's
Forum will focus on the critical nature of
uplands water courses and how their
protection directly impacts the water
quality of the lake proper. As the
LGPC is considering the adoption of stream
corridor management regulations, it is
critical that all constituents recognize the
importance of protecting and preserving
stream buffers and riparian water courses
that feed into the lake.
WHY ATTEND: It's Your
Watershed! Whether you are a local
leader, a community representative, or an
individual interested in how to become a
better steward of the lake, this Forum will
cover issues affecting your watershed that
in turn, affect you. The forum will
cover an array of issues ranging from storm
water management, invasive species, and
water-based recreation to water quality and
watershed protection. This forum will
also offer local planning & zoning board
members the opportunity to partake in newly
identified annual training requirements.
