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.

Guided lakeside buffer walks took place at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., where conservationist Carol Markham shared her expertise on native plants and garden design. She was available to answer questions and offer valuable insights to those in attendance.
The event was free and open to all, happening rain or shine at Chautauqua Marina, 104 West Lake Road, Mayville. Native plants, often hard to come by, were in abundance, making it a fantastic opportunity for attendees to stock up while supporting a great cause.
