REGISTRATION FOR THE 6th ANNUAL MTC EVENT is NOW OPEN!
Mau and Carin measured water clarity along the Fulton Chain of Lakes using a Secchi disk specifically designed for participants of the MTC event. Water clarity is an indicator of the health of our ADK lakes. MTC has been measuring water clarity for several summers. Our yearly reports can be found on our Home page.
The Boon family also conducted their annual Fourth Lake bottom cleanup again this summer.
Senator Mark Walczyk and his incredible staff picked up trash along Route 28 in Thendara. We are honored and grateful for their continued support!
Sarah, Steve, and Ray (taking the photos) collected water samples using a Kemmerer water sampler for CSLAP (Citizens Statewide Lake Assessment Program), a volunteer-driven water-monitoring initiative co-managed by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation and New York State Federation of Lake Associations, Inc. (NYSFOLA).
This beautiful and informative work of art by Sarah O'Conner is an example of choosing a self-directed, environmentally-focused project that inspires and highlights your strengths and talents. Stunning!
Trash from one night’s walk and one morning’s paddle along the beach and shores of second and third lakes, DeCamp Island and the channel from fourth to third! Thank you, Maria and Dan!
Caitlin, Vince, Emma, and Lucy the lab had a great day cleaning up the beach on Seventh Lake! They found a small garbage bag's worth of items, including a bottle cap, a piece of a beer bottle glass, a plastic bag, a plastic lid, and a large sheet of plastic.
Noreen and her grandson picked up this handful of litter on Fourth Lake in Inlet on the first day of their vacation! They both love Fourth Lake and Inlet, NY!
Kate, Steve, and their team found some interesting trash along the Fulton Chain of Lakes.
The Rocco Family cleaned up around the cove across from View Arts Center. Love the sweatshirt, the T-shirt, and the hat!
Deb picked this up on Route 28. As a former AWI steward, she also removes milfoil from the Seventh Lake boat launch. The latter should only be done by those with experience. See our resource page for important details.
While out for a run around beautiful Moss Lake, Owen and Peter noticed trash left behind by hikers and campers at the registration area. Instead of walking past it, they took the time to clean it up and even recycled the bottles and cans they found. Their efforts didn't go unnoticed—a park ranger stopped to thank them for helping care for the park!
Brian has been hard at work again removing trash from the bottom of Seventh Lake! A huge thank you to Brian, our 2025 Best Project Award winner, for his years of dedication and unwavering support. Your relentless efforts help keep the Adirondacks clean, healthy, and beautiful for everyone.
Sam has spent about 10 years restoring the shoreline of his Fourth Lake family camp. He continues to expand the wildflowers where there was once grass. The first photo is an aerial shot of the property from a couple of decades ago.
"It's been a labor of love, and the bees, hummers, and butterflies couldn’t be happier!" -Sam G.
Brad and Jocelen walked DeCamp Island, picking up trash again this summer! As loyal MTC supporters, we thank you for participating!!!
Wendy and her team assisted the Iroquois Chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club on Earth Day. Together, they filled a dumpster with neighborhood garbage. Thank you, all, for protecting the beautiful Adirondack environment and for all your hard work!
Dana and Max, the dog, went for a short walk and found lots of trash along the way.
"One day, one hour, and one person can make a difference." I picked up ALL this trash THIS morning on my walk, around that time. I asked anyone going for a walk to bring a bag and make a difference!" - Karen G
