Bolton Landing, NY – The Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) is holding its Annual Meeting and Block Party at the Up Yonda Farm Environmental Education Center, August 20th from 11 am to 2 pm.
The public is invited to attend this family-friendly, free event, which includes live music by High Peaks Bluegrass, and games and activities for kids and adults. The Tres Mijas food truck will be on site for food for purchase.

Up Yonda Farm’s facility has a large picnic pavilion and extensive grounds for exploring. Exhibits include a butterfly house, children’s nature museum, pond exploration, and hiking trails.
At 11:30 am the LGLC will hold its annual meeting outside the Up Yonda’s auditorium (in the case of rain the meeting will move indoors). Staff and Directors will present briefings on the LGLC’s past conservation efforts and plans for the year ahead, as well as stewardship, events and outreach, and our financial report for the 2022 fiscal year.
