John J. Macionis, Ph.D.President, Board of Directors

This winter, for the first time, I am enjoying life on the lake during the cold months. Yes, we have had a number of nights (and a few days) well below zero. In mid-January, pretty much on schedule, the lake zipped up and the thickening ice now supports a thriving fishing community.

I confess that the thrill some find in ice fishing largely escapes me. I recently watched a fellow sit near his fishing hole through an entire single-digit day. As dusk approached, he started moving to shore. Anticipating his landfall very near my place, I walked out to greet him. Smiling, we exchanged names and I encouraged him to say a bit about the charm of a day in the cold wind out on the ice. Without missing a beat, Joe held up one ten or twelve inch fish as if nothing more needed to be said. I suppose this is a case of the old saw “If I have to explain this to you, then you will never understand.”

I wish Joe well. In spite of our differing levels of enthusiasm for ice fishing, Joe and I are caught up in the same trance: We are both enchanted by Lake George. From the ice or from the shore, the beauty of this basin—the mountainsides cloaked in white and the brilliant snow covering the lake surface—is simply beyond what words can convey.

Whether you are enjoying the cold or have found warmer weather, I am sure that your winter thoughts often turn to our lake. The magic of this place lies in the simple fact that even when we distance ourselves from Lake George, the lake remains part of us.

Why? Each one of us has a unique story, but the common theme is that we find joyful play and peaceful serenity in this special place. Children learn to swim, teens find a first love, adults hone their fishing skills, and everyone reconnects with family from around the country. The circle of lake-life turns again and again—season after season, generation after generation—until we and this majestic setting become intertwined for all time.

Lake George has done so much for us. What are we willing to do for the lake? The Lake George Land Conservancy is your agent to protect land and water. Since our beginnings in 1988, the organization has helped to protect close to 10,000 acres of land in the lake basin. And “protect” means forever. The LGLC’s gift to you is measured in natural views and high water quality. Will you give back? We welcome your support in contributions large or small. We pledge to use these funds wisely and efficiently to protect this national treasure.

Finally, on behalf of the board of directors, I want to warmly welcome Jamie Brown, our new executive director. Please make a point of meeting Jamie at one of our events in the coming year.

With best wishes,

LGLC achieved Land Trust Accreditation in August, 2014, from the Land Trust Accreditation Commission, an independent program of the Land Trust Alliance. This distinction signifies LGLC’s commitment to meeting national standards for excellence, as a transparent, efficient, and trustworthy organization.

LGLC is one of only 280 land trusts to have been accredited in the country. Accredited land trusts are authorized to display a seal indicating to the public that they meet national standards for excellence, uphold the public trust and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent.

For more information about the accreditation process, please visit www.landtrustaccreditation.org.

The year 2014 concluded with many accomplishments in land conservation for LGLC and its donors. Thanks to an amazing rally of support, 132 acres in Silver Bay are now a public resource; an essential connection was completed at the heart of the Lake George Wildlife Refuge; and land donations provided important water quality protection and recreational assets in the towns of Bolton, Lake George and Fort Ann.

In all, five projects in five different towns were completed in 2014, providing for the conservation of 468 acres that protect intact forests, wetlands, rocky slopes and ridges, and streams, as well as important wildlife habitat and recreational passageways.

This year we also made the final payment on a $3.15-million mortgage on the Last Great Shoreline Preserve in Putnam, completing a purchase that was made in 2009. The 331-acre property contains extensive wetlands that are part of the Sucker Brook complex and integral to the Lake George Wildlife Refuge. The conservation project also included the protection of 2,357 feet of lake shoreline, and an additional 90 acres and 1,613 feet of shoreline through a donation and deed restrictions.

Stewardship Activities of 2014Much of the stewarship work was conducted by LGLC’s seasonal stewardship assistants, Tom Devlin, a junior at Paul Smith’s College, and Michelle Piechowicz, a senior at the University of Connecticut.

In all, staff monitored eight properties with LGLC-held conservation easements, and, with help from volunteers, built bridges, blazed trails and maintained existing trails at eight parks and preserves. Some specific projects included:

Amy’s Park LGLC teamed up with YMCA Camp Chingachgook to construct a bridge.

Last Great Shoreline A dock and an overlook trail that connects to the water’s edge was com-pleted this summer. The connector trail was also completed, joining the Last Great Shoreline to the Gull Bay Preserve. A new off-road parking area was created on Warrick Road, with a trail connect-ing it to the main trail kiosk.

Peggy’s Point The garden was renamed “Mary Lou’s Friendship Garden” in honor of Hague resident and volunteer Mary Lou Doulin. A gazebo was installed in September.

Terrestrial Invasive Plant Management Garlic mustard was removed from the Gull Bay Preserve; purple loosestrife from the Cook Mountain and Last Great Shoreline Preserves; and shrubby honeysuckle from the Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob. Extra help was gratefully received from volunteers, including Mr. Brechko’s 8th grade students from the Glens Falls Middle School.

Terzian WoodlotPurchased 12/5/2014132 acres in Hague1.5 miles of hiking trails have been completed. Final signage and trail work is expected in 2015.

Last Great Shoreline/Gull Bay ConnectionPurchased 4/17/20143 acres in PutnamEstablished land link between the two preserves. A 1.25-mile trail has been completed to connect existing trail systems to the north and south.

Combined, these two pre-serves make the heart of the Lake George Wildlife Refuge and offer a total of 5.75 miles of hiking trails.

Lake George Wildlife Refuge A management plan for the Wildlife Refuge is in the process of being completed with assiantance from The LA Group of Saratoga Springs, which has provided its expertise at no cost to LGLC. The plan includes strategies for future conservation efforts, recreational and educational opportunities, and economic development for the region.

Van Hart PreserveDonation 6/12/201463.5 acres in Fort AnnPublicly accessible by request only; future plans include securing land links between this and the Schumann Preserve at Pilot Knob, less than 1.5 miles to the north.

Sharing our trails with the public is a responsibility that we take very seriously, but we also have a lot of fun helping kids and adults of all abilities and backgrounds explore the forests and view the lake from towering mountaintops.

Events like our annual Hike-A-Thon and guided outings bring people to the land to witness first-hand why Lake George is worth protecting.

“

Hike-A-ThonLGLC’s Hike-A-Thon, held each year on July 5th, proved itself once again as a great outreach event! The event had 400 people, including 25 volunteers, hiking (or boating) at nine locations around Lake George to rally for land conservation.

As always, participation was free thanks to support from sponsors and the donation of services by Carl Heilman, II, who gave his time and talent to photograph the event, and Bruce Mowery of North Country Heliflite, who donated his flight services.

Ticonderoga resident Miriam Dunne was the 2014 winner of the Hike-A-Thon helicop-ter ride, the grand prize of LGLC’s annual spring appeal drawing. She got to enjoy a unique perspective of the event while riding beside LGLC board member Debbie Hoff-man.

Seeing well-known and well-loved landmarks from the air was really special to me. Heart Bay, Anthony’s Nose, Glenburnie Bay, Cook Mountain and Roger’s Rock are all places I’ve come to love over the last 30 years of spending time at my husband’s family home on the northern end of the lake. As a result of the helicopter ride, I am now encouraged to explore farther south and see more of the lake’s watershed.

~ Miriam Dunne

More information about the event, including a full list of sponsors, can be found at lakegeorgehikeathon.org, and in our fall newsletter, posted at lglc.org/news.

Walks & TalksEach year LGLC schedules a series of guided hikes and educational programs that are primarily free to the public. In 2014, this program included:

• 24 guided hikes, paddles and volunteer work days

• 300 participants• 265 volunteer hours• 12 sites in six towns around Lake George

Four of these outings were arranged in partnership with outside groups—CDPHP, as part of their wellness program; Girlfriends Getaway in Bolton Landing, an annual event dedicated to women’s wellness; Warren County Master Gardeners, who also helped with invasive plant removal; and Ticonderoga School District’s 4th grade students, who enjoyed an educational field trip at the Gull Bay Preserve.

Wildlife Talks Nearly 200 people at-tended LGLC’s 2014 Lake Talks Series, which were held each Wednesday evening in July. Presentations were all focused on wildlife, and ranged from wolves to habitat management. Presenters included Steve Hall of the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge

and Rehab Center, Certified Forester Erin O’Neill, licensed wildlife rehabilitator Nancy Kimball, and Zoe Smith, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Adirondack Program.

Public SpeakingLGLC Communications and Outreach Manager Sarah Hoffman was honored to be the guest speaker at YMCA Camp Chingachgook’s annual Earth Service Awards banquet in April. Her inspirational presentation focused on John Apperson, a conservation activist with Lake George roots, as an example of how one person’s passion and dedication to a cause can make a significant difference in our world.

Annual MeetingTroy Weldy, senior conservation manager for The Nature Conservancy of New York, provided opening remarks for LGLC’s 2014 public Annual Meeting, held July 17th at the Inn at Erlowest in Diamond Point.

Weldy discussed issues pertaining to forest health, including deer management, invasive species, and the use of carbon credits.

LGLC’s Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Richard Hayes Phillips, for his extraordinary donation of hundreds of hours for trail creation and maintenance on LGLC properties.

Every not-for-profit relies on the generosity of donors —individuals, businesses and foundations—to keep moving forward with impactful, mission-driven actions. Fundraising is therefore a necessary part of an organization’s functions, but we strive to make every solicitation, benefit event and campaign as effective and enjoyable as possible for those who participate.

In 2014, LGLC held six major fundraising events and campaigns that involved nearly 1,100 donations towards operational support and specific conservation projects.*

Our sincere thanks goes to everyone who donated dollars, time, talents and services to support our cause. Lake George is a better place because of your concern and we couldn’t continue without you.

*This information reflects activities for the 2014 calendar year. Fiscal year numbers can be viewed on page 12.

Land and Water Conservation CelebrationMore than 190 guests attended LGLC’s annual dinner and auction benefit event at the Sagamore’s Shelving Rock Terrace on August 8th.

The Celebration was another record-breaker, raising a net total of over $150,000 for projects involving land conservation—about 40% more than the previous year! Guests were amazingly generous during the Fund-A-Need, which raises funds for specific projects and organizational needs. Through this tool, LGLC raised $95,550, most of which has been directed towards the purchase of the Anthony’s Nose access parcel (see page 5 for details) and to expand the Wildlife Refuge in Putnam.

The Fund-A-Need also raised dollars for office technology upgrades and LGLC’s new website, which is now compatible with today’s computer and smart phone capa-bilites. Patricia Spencer, of Patricia Spencer Designs, built the beautiful site and donated a significant portion of her services.

In addition to functioning as LGLC’s largest single fundraiser, the Celebration provides the opportunity to honor individuals who have already made significant contributions to LGLC and the lake. The 2014 Henry M. Rowan Conservation Award was presented to Helen V. Froehlich and the Froehlich Foundation for their significant support of

numerous environmental projects around Lake George and their direct support of LGLC.

Nancy Kimball and Rebecca Smith were inducted as the newest members of LGLC’s Apperson Society.

Last Great Shoreline Campaign

Nearly 400 individuals, families and organi-zations contributed towards our final push to pay off the Last Great Shoreline’s mortgage in February. All donors who contributed to this campaign were entered into a drawing to win a commissioned watercolor painting of Jumping Rock by Marianne Ganter. The winners were Ken and Enid Engler of Forest Bay in Hague.

Specific thanks go to Hank and Lee Rowan and Manning and Ginny Rowan Smith, without whom we would never have been able to purchase this property.

Name the View Contest—Nosa’s BluffRick and Evelyn Spann of Gull Bay were announced as the winners of the Name the View Contest during LGLC’s annual meet-ing. This contest was part of our fundraising campaign for Berry Pond, and generated nearly $5,000 towards its mortgage.

In addition to having the honor of naming the northern view from Berry Pond, the Spanns also won a picnic on Dome Island hosted by LGLC. The family chose to name

the view Nosa’s Bluff, in honor of their dog and favorite vacation spot in Australia.

Contestants could enter the drawing with or without making a donation, but many people showed their support and contributed to the campaign. In addition, everyone who signed our 1,000 Friends of Lake George book were also entered into the drawing.

Neighborhood Socials and BenefitsThis summer’s outreach events focused on the acquisition of the Terzian Woodlot in Silver Bay. The need to rally and gain support was intense in order to meet a short deadline and successfully protect this property.

We are grateful to our fundraiser co-chairs, Judy Larter, Elizabeth Guest, and Bob and Jan Whitaker, and to Dr. Bill Brown for providing expertise on the timber rattlesnake during guided hikes on the property. We also thank Frank and Nancy Tetz for “thinking outside the box” and rallying their friends and family for a fun Birthday Challenge.

The talented and gracious Prometheus Brass from New York City presented their second annual benefit concert at the Grace Memorial Chapel on Sabbath Day Point on August 16th. Performers Sandra Coffin, Matthew Ragsdale, Susan LaFever, and Dale Truk, along with the Chapel Board and volunteers, all donated their time to help further the Terzian project.

In MemoriamHarvey W. Schadler

The Lake George Land Conservancy lost a friend and valued member of its Board of Directors on November 30, 2014.

Harvey W. Schadler, Ph.D, joined the LGLC board in August of 2001. From the outset, he was an active member and served as vice president from 2003 to 2008. Harvey offered wise counsel, provided encouragement, and recognized a job well done—always with a twinkle in his eye. During his tenure, Har-vey saw the completion of 23 conservation projects, including some of the largest purchases in LGLC history.

Harvey, his wife Margaret, and their three children enjoyed summers at Lake George at their home in Northwest Bay, which they shared with extended family. His love and apprecia-tion for Lake George came through in his commitment to LGLC.

Harvey had an enormous presence at the Lake George Land Conservancy. Harvey and Margaret were extremely generous, sharing not only of their time and talent but their treasure as well, often anonymously. We will miss Harvey—as a colleague, as a fellow environmentalist, and as a dear friend. Harvey reached out to everyone in kindness and in friendship.

~ LGLC Board President John Macionis

Harvey attended Cornell University as a John McMullen Scholar and graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in physical metal-lurgy in 1954, and received a Ph.D. in metallurgical engineer-ing from Purdue University in 1957. It was while at Cornell that Harvey met Margaret; they married and moved to Schenectady, NY, in 1957, where Harvey worked at the General Electric Cor-porate Research and Development Center.

LGLC created the Harvey W. Schadler Memorial Fund in his memory, which will benefit our headquarters in Bolton Landing.

*New to the Board in 2014

“Farewell Nancy WilliamsThe end of 2014 came with a change of leadership at LGLC, as Nancy Williams retired after 8 ½ years as executive director.

My retirement is bittersweet. My spirit will always be here at Lake George, and in the memories of some of our greatest projects: working with an unlikely partner to protect the Padanarum lands; discovering the resident bobcat at the Last Great Shoreline and using that (and unfortunate leg traps set for the area’s beavers) as inspiration for the development of Lake George’s first managed wildlife refuge; and the summer that I worked alongside our stewards to create the Friendship Garden at Peggy’s Point. Most of all I will miss the people who made these projects possible.

~ Nancy Williams, on her retirement

The LGLC staff and board will miss Nancy as well, and wish her well in her new adventures!

LGLC’s mission is to work with willing landowners and other partners to protect the world-renowned water quality of Lake George

and to permanently preserve the natural, scenic, historic and

recreational resources of the Lake George region.
