The FUND for Lake George has been selected to receive the 2011 U.S. EPA Environmental Quality Award. The award will be made on April 29th in New York City. The EPA states “The Environmental Quality Award is the highest recognition presented to the public by EPA. The EPA award recognizes the successful educational publication Do-It-Yourself Water Quality designed to help Lake George property owners protect the lake’s water quality.

The FUND worked with Trampoline to develop this handsome coffee table book with 25 specially created illustrations. “After seven years of helping to design and develop campaigns for the FUND for Lake George, Trampoline is proud to have been a part of this endeavor” said Sean Magee, Principal of Brand Strategy. Derek Slayton, Principal and Creative Director at Trampoline, added “The illustrative process made use of aerial photographs for reference, pen and ink drawings, digital composition and colorization. Input from the FUND’s staff and Uplands Committee helped to refine preliminary scientific concepts. This full-scale involvement made for a memorable product that communicates clearly and efficiently.”

Congratulations to Peter and the team at the Fund who continue to work hard to keep one of our most important natural and economic assets protected.
