Join us for our special Lake Champlain Quadricentennial Events

Eagle Mountain Natural Area, July 10, 2009

Join us on a family-friendly hike to a prominent vista overlooking Lake
Champlain, the Islands, and the Adirondacks.  If one wanted to spot Samuel
de Champlain paddling south toward Burlington, one could not find a better
vantage point.  The prominent cliffs of Eagle Mountain would have been among
the more striking landmarks to guide Champlain on his expedition.  Eagle
Mountain Natural Area protects features and natural communities reminiscent
of the 1609 landscape including habitat for wildlife ranging from warblers
to porcupine to bobcat.  This 226-acre public access natural area was
conserved by the Lake Champlain Land Trust in 1998.  The hike begins at 10
am-please note there are no facilities. Space is limited!  RSVP required at
info@lclt.org or 862-4150."

Give a Discovery Gift to Lake Champlain

In 2009 we will be celebrating the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain's first visit to Lake Champlain - what better gift to this great lake and its rich, but threatened natural environment than a membership in and donation to the work of the

Lake Champlain Land Trust

Join today and give a Gift Membership to someone you love.

Lake Champlain needs your help -  Declining water quality, loss of wildlife habitat, and compromised landscape threaten this stunningly beautiful lake. The Lake Champlain Land Trust works to counter the threats to Lake Champlain through conservation and stewardship. Since 1978, we have conserved a diverse array of land for public parks, canoe and kayak access spots, town beaches, nature preserves, hiking trails, and wildlife habitats.

These conserved shoreline natural areas and wetlands buffer and protect the important wetlands lining the edge of Lake Champlain and carefully filter out phosphorous and other pollutants.

Your contribution will help conserve more high-priority lands on Lake Champlain and help steward the treasures we have already preserved, over 4,000 acres of land, 16 islands, and 16 miles of shoreline.
