CLEAN WATER STARTS WITH YOU
Clean water is essential for life! Our choices have a big impact on fresh water. By picking up trash, planting trees, and avoiding harmful chemicals on your lawn, you help keep our water clean.
Stormwater runoff is one way our actions affect water quality. When it rains or snow melts, water flows over hard surfaces like streets and parking lots, picking up pollutants like dirt, oil, and chemicals. This runoff can reach storm drains, flowing into lakes and rivers and carrying harmful substances with it. Simple actions like not dumping trash, using natural fertilizers, and planting trees or rain gardens can help protect the health of Lake George and its watershed.
Contest opens April 3, 2025.
The deadline for entries is May 5, 2025
