Squam Lakes News

Conservation Journal: John: " If you ever find yourself forced to walk on a wet trail, walk right through the mud! It feels great and it protects the vegetation around the trail."
SLA's New Podcast! What's Happening on Squam: Tune in for Episode 1 of What's Happening on Squam, 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.
Conservation Journal: Kim: " I’ve always loved spring. The increased energy, the ability to bask in the sun without sweating, and the way the season naturally inspires change and improvement."
Trails and Mud Season: Caring for the the trails when they need it most! : The pull to get out in the fresh air and sunshine will draw many outdoors. However it's important to be patient with the trails in order to protect them! Many boots traveling well-hiked trails after the snow melts can really damage the resource.
Conservation Journal: Stevie: "As I ready myself to trade in views of forests and mountains for the man-made landscape of a city, I can’t express enough how much we need organizations such as the SLA. A place where the employees, volunteers, and even the community work together to protect the natural world."
Conservation Journal: Amanda: "I have enjoyed growing in the face of adversity (more specifically in not-ideal field work conditions like high wind chill and freezing temperatures), and I have come out the other side feeling proud of my service."
Conservation Journal: Alex: "...as everyone is getting signed in, I begin to realize that today was not going to be my demise."
