Research Webinar: Lakeshore Biodiversity - Informing a Lake Wise Approach in the Adirondacks
LCSGs final fall 2025 research webinar will feature Michale Glennon from the Adirondack Watershed Institute's recent LCSG funded research.
This project, led by the Paul Smith’s College Adirondack Watershed Institute, is examining how lakeshore management affects wildlife diversity and habitat use on Upper Saranac Lake, one of the largest lakes in the Adirondack Park. By surveying birds, mammals, and amphibians along shorelines with varying levels of human alteration, we are working to identify best practices that support healthy ecosystems. Partnering with the Upper Saranac Foundation, we are sharing findings directly with landowners, developing improved shoreline protection guidelines, and providing an empirical foundation for a Lake Wise–style program in New York. Our ultimate goal is to engage communities in stewardship that benefits both wildlife and water quality across the Lake Champlain Basin.
