The Chautauqua Institution and the Jefferson Project
The Chautauqua Institution is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to preserve and enhance the quality of Chautauqua Lake. Thanks to the collective action and support of the New York State Senate, Assembly, and Governor Hochul, $1 million has been earmarked for Chautauqua Lake in the state's budget proposals. This allocation is part of a larger commitment of $250 million dedicated to clean water projects across New York State. Michael E. Hill, President of the Chautauqua Institution, celebrates this achievement as a pivotal advancement in science-based conservation efforts aimed at addressing the urgent challenges faced by Chautauqua Lake. Through comprehensive monitoring and targeted mitigation strategies, this funding will serve as a cornerstone in the endeavor to rejuvenate the lake, ensuring it remains a vibrant and healthy resource for residents, visitors, and future generations. This development not only highlights the significance of Chautauqua Lake but also underscores our collective responsibility towards preserving our natural water bodies. The Chautauqua Institution remains committed to this cause, working tirelessly alongside the community, researchers, and policymakers to foster a sustainable future for Chautauqua Lake and other freshwater ecosystems throughout the state.

Native Plant Sale Recap: A Successful Event at Chautauqua Marina
On Saturday, August 24th, Chautauqua Marina hosted a native plant sale benefiting the Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy.
The event, held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., brought together plant enthusiasts and conservation advocates for a day of learning and shopping in support of a great cause. Attendees had the chance to purchase a diverse selection of native plants from local nurseries, including:
- Amanda’s Native Garden
- Brigiotta’s Greenhouse & Garden Center
- Royal Fern Nursery
- Turnbull Nursery & Garden Center
- Westfield Nursery
Guided lakeside buffer walks at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. featured conservationist Carol Markham, who shared her expertise on native plants and garden design. Carol was on hand to answer questions and provide valuable insights to attendees.
The event, held rain or shine, was free and open to the public at Chautauqua Marina, 104 West Lake Road, Mayville. With an abundance of native plants—often hard to find—it was a wonderful opportunity for participants to stock up while supporting local conservation efforts.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this successful event! We’re already looking forward to seeing you again next year, rain or shine!
