Congratulations to Gund Fellow, Jon Erickson, for the New England Emmy nomination for "Lake Defenders" a documentary created in partnership by Mountain Lake PBS and BrightBlue EcoMedia. We will stay tuned with fingers crossed during the awards ceremony on June 7th.
Lake Defenders explores the ecological and economic issues of aquatic invasive species impact in Lake George, highlighting both the successes and mounting challenges faced by the shoreline communities that depend on a healthy lake system. The 30-minute educational documentary promotes public awareness and participation in stopping the spread of invasives, and provides a case study in management practices as a model for hundreds of communities nationwide.
