On Wednesday morning, the Lake George Association reported the passing of a critical figure in its history of conservation. Jeff Killeen passed away on Wednesday, leaving behind a legacy of advocacy and work to keep Lake George clean – one that he helped to shape into its current form. WTEN reports Killeen’s time with lake preservation started with a group that would eventually form half of the modern Lake George Association. He served as the chairman of The FUND for Lake George, a conservation group that he led in science-guided lake quality protection, starting in 2011.
