Squam Lakes News

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!

Each episode will feature stories about recent events at the SLA, conservation happenings, and interviews with members of the Squam community.

Wilderness First Aid & CPR

Wilderness First Aid (WFA) Accidents happen. People get hurt, sick, or lost. The temperature drops, the wind picks up, and it starts to rain. Would you know what to do? Many back-country emergencies are preventable, and even when bad things happen, sometimes the wrong care can make things worse. By learning a few basic skills, you can make the difference between a good outcome and a bad one-and maybe even save a life. There are limited slots so please register early.
