The Islands of Lake Memphremagog
This 35-minute documentary by Louise Abbott explores the natural and human history of the twenty-one islands in Lake Memphremagog—a lake that lies mostly in Quebec but partly in Vermont. Because of their isolation, islands tend to be hotspots for biodiversity. So, it’s encouraging to note that since the film was made, the Nature Conservancy of Canada has acquired Molson Island. It also owns Long Island. You can find more information about the islands of Lake Memphremagog in the second volume of Memphremagog: An Illustrated History, published by Georgeville Press and available at Studio Georgeville in Georgeville, Brome Lake Books in Knowlton, and Biblairie GGC in Magog.
