|  | Indian Brook Matching Challenge from the Stromberg Family You are invited to be a part of a new, generous opportunity to double your own impact on the Indian Brook & Northwest Bay Conservation Initiative: the Stromberg family has graciously provided a matching challenge of up to $50,000 to complete our two most recent conservation projects in this important area! Together, these properties protect 48 acres of land that includes 3,745 feet of Indian Brook and seasonal streams and 5 acres of wetlands that serve to filter and cleanse water before flowing into Lake George. Since our first conservation project in 1990, the LGLC and its partners have permanently conserved a total of 2,520 acres that are crucial to keeping Indian Brook and Northwest Bay clean. As one of Lake George’s largest tributaries, Indian Brook delivers millions of gallons of water into Northwest Bay each year. Healthy and intact forests, streams, and wetlands are essential for filtering and cleaning water before it reaches the lake. Learn more about these projects, and help us unlock this match today! |
