Huntington Lecture Series

Adirondack Inventory and Monitoring Camera Trap Network

Thursday, August 8th, 7pm

Join Paul Jensen, wildlife biologist with NYS DEC to learn more about the Adirondack Inventory and Monitoring Camera Trap Network that began in the 2020 pandemic. The network’s goals are to collect and share data on wildlife populations, monitor species particularly sensitive to climate change, and to give SUNY College of Environmental Science and Foresty students in the region real-world training.

54th Annual Arts & Crafts Fair

The Schroon Lake Association will be holding its 54th Arts and Crafts Fair on Saturday, July 27, 2024 from 10:00am - 4:00pm. This extremely popular fair is held in the Town Park overlooking Schroon Lake.  All the profits that the SLA derives from the Fair go toward our continuing efforts to protect and maintain the health and welfare of the lake (e.g., hiring a certified lake manager as a consultant, funding scientific studies of the lake water, underwriting the fees involved in CSLAP and ensuring that there are sufficient funds for milfoil harvesting).

Sponsored by the Schroon Lake Association. Visit their website here for more info!
