About us
James Sullivan
Volunteer Steward
The Morgan Duke Conservation Society is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has been protecting the ecosystem, natural resources, and wildlife habitat in the Hudson River Recreation Area in Lake Luzerne, New York, since 2013. This conservation work is done under the supervision of the DEC through a volunteer stewardship agreement.
James Sullivan, the Volunteer Steward, and dedicated volunteers visit the area during the spring, summer, fall, and winter months. They help ensure the trails, parking lots, and campsites are free of environmental impacts like garbage. The volunteers also assist with painting trail gates, outhouses, and picnic tables. Volunteers also report any trail conditions and concerns.
