Squam Lakes News

Conservation Journal: Mike: "Looking back to the summer, it is unbelievable the amount of diverse and multifaceted service the AmeriCorps members of SLA tackle."
Conservation Journal: Maggie: "My time here has not only been fun but has transformed me into the budding conservation professional I have always hoped to be. Here I have found myself delving into a broad range of conservation initiatives, allowing me to expand my education in an applied way."
Conservation Journal: Connor N.: "As the summer winds down and the cool days of fall wait just around the corner, I can’t help but reflect on the variety of changes happening around the lake, at the SLA, and in my own personal life. "
Squam Ridge Race - 12 mile or 4 mile version: Hike or run the ridge to help raise money for the Squam Trail system. Sign up now: www.squamlakes.org/events/squam-ridge-race-1
Conservation Journal: Erica: "At the time I was just beginning to see all that makes a non-profit function, but since then I have observed so many examples of these partnerships with the SLA, organizations working together to mutually accomplish their missions."
Conservation Journal: Ben: "It’s great to see so much life and diversity out in our forests not just because frogs and fungi are cool to look at, but because it speaks to the quality of the ecosystems that we have in the watershed."
Postcards from camp: Sawyer: " It’s campouts like these that makes being a camp counselor the best way to spend a summer. "
