Squam Lakes News

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. "
Conservation Journal: Connor P.: "This past week I had the opportunity to work with the Youth Conservation Corps (YCC) of the Pemi district of the Forest Service. It was a great chance to work alongside young conservationists and introduce them to the type of projects we work on at the Squam Lakes Association. "
SQUAM LAKES LOON REPORT FROM THE LPC - AUGUST 6TH, 2018: This past weekend was a very sad one on the Squam Lakes. Loon Preservation Committee received several reports of a loon tangled in fishing line on Little Squam over the weekend, and I was able to capture it on Sunday.
