People are the solution. That's all there is to it. Nothing will change unless stakeholders like you are involved and informed. Years of apathy have gotten us to where we are now, and the only way to get on the right track is to show that you care about the future of your water. Our programs give people an array of options to join the team and fight for a swimmable, drinkable, fishable Lake Champlain.
“Lake Champlain International was instrumental in thwarting an effort by some townhouse community members to reinstate the use of herbicides on the lawns. Ross Saxton, Director of Conservation and Education, responded to my request to speak at a board meeting to outline the negative a effects of pesticide use and to suggest alternatives as our community borders on a tributary to Lake Champlain. Mr. Saxton spoke knowledgeably and professionally with a calm demeanor which helped to defuse a contentious meeting. Mr. Saxton’s presentation helped to persuade a few fence sitters to vote to abandon the use of pesticides. Thanks to Lake Champlain International for your efforts to improve the quality of Lake Champlain.”
