Squam Lakes News

Conservation Journal: Kim: We spent the next couple of hours clearing the trail before having to head back down. I think we all learned that we should bring the snowshoes, and I began to learn the challenges and joys of winter hiking.
Conservation Journal: Stevie: "CRUNCH. The wintery mix of snow and ice gives way from the impact. Shards of frozen water particles rub against each other creating a hoarse sound. A man painfully groans. Birds happily chirp. Suddenly, the ground turns to brown as a liquid oozes over the area. "
Conservation Journal: Amanda: "I looked around the room, the goofiest smile on my face I am sure, as I tried to contain my excitement over the large rodent"
Conservation Journal: Alex: "Although I will admit that some of the hands-on activities were a bit awkward at times (like checking for a pulse on a stranger’s bare feet or pulling on someone’s jaw to open up their airways), it was a really interesting course and I feel like I gained a lot from it."
Conservation Journal: Adel: "I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about moving across the country to a place I’d never been before, but the area is jaw-droppingly beautiful, my fellow AmeriCorps volunteers are already some of the coolest people I’ve met, and this next year promises to be full of some serious self-development (not without a good dose of fun). What more could I want?"
Conservation Journal: Mike: "While it was sad to hear words of good-byes and advice for the future, I am hopeful and beyond happy to start the next chapter in life because I know I’m going into my next chapter, not alone, but with a whole new family. "
