We are excited to share that the Lake George Waterkeeper, Chris Navitsky, PE, represented the Lake George Association and Lake George Watershed at the NYS Center of Excellence: Healthy Waters Solutions Annual Meeting on May 20th, 2026.

Navitsky was honored to return to his alma mater, Syracuse ESF, where the conference was hosted. He remarked, “To participate in a conference there on Healthy Waters was a privilege.”

The Annual Meeting recognized the Lake George Association’s work on septic system management. “It is gratifying to take a look back at the amount of work and effort that went into achieving our goal of septic system management, which is an important initiative to reduce nutrient loading to Lake George,” Navitsky shared.

Navitsky's expertise and work presenting on the regional level reinforces the LGA as a voice for freshwater protection in the Adirondacks and beyond.
