Squam Lakes News

Postcards from camp: Sophie: We had an amazing first week of training for camp!!! I can already tell we have a great team this year and we cannot wait for the inevitable upcoming adventures we are going to have with the campers!
Lakes Region Conservation Corps Journals Featuring All Host Sites!: With 25 members serving in the Conservation Corps this summer, we have a plethora of stories to tell. Conservation journals now feature experiences from all eight of our host sites in the Lakes Region. You can read four members' journals here.
Conservation Journal Adel: "My second realization was that there’s a ton of “invisible” work that goes into public access. Even though I may not have seen them in person, every time I’ve camped out in a clean campsite, hiked a well-maintained trail, or cast off from a public dock, I’ve been able to do so because of the hard work of caretakers and volunteers. "
Trails Open May 11th, 2019!: Trails in the Squam Range and Rattlesnake Network are open.
Conservation Journal John: "In place of a photo or video, taking the time to write something down when you’re out in nature is a way to create a special and more meaningful memory. Looking back at your own writing, you are able to put yourself back in a place and time with ease. "
Earth Day Celebrations at the SLA: Trailwork, Outreach, and Solar!: While Earth Day has passed, the SLA is still buzzing with the excitement of April's celebrations and events. Between trail work, camp, and outreach, we really enjoyed getting to connect with the community!
What's Happening on Squam Episode 2: Muddy Season and Earth Day: Tune in for Episode 2 of What's Happening on Squam: Muddy Season and Earth Day, a new podcast initiated by members of the Lakes Region Conservation Corps at the Squam Lakes Association. Each episode will feature stories about recent events at the SLA, conservation happenings, and interviews with members of the Squam community.
