	Asian Clam This is a presentation from September 2010, very soon after the invasion was first found. The background info on Asian Clam is good, but much more activity has happened since then. Stay tuned for an updated presentation.

	Lake Friendly Living This program is a much shorter version of the more comprehensive Lake Georgeology program below. It is a brief introduction to the concept of water quality as a result of what goes in the water – and what stays in the water. It also explains how land use and human activities affect what goes into the water.
	Lake Georgeology This program has two main parts. A brief introduction to the geology, ecology, limnology and some of the other "ologies" that shape Lake George. Then an introduction to indicators of water quality and a review of some of the data that has been collected about Lake George water quality. It was presented to the town of Lake George and Bolton municipal boards.

	The Turtles of Lake George This program was presented to the Carillon Garden Club on April 15, 2010. Much of the info is from our Lake George Turtle Monitoring Program.
