Arboretum Tour

Did you know there is a community arboretum at the Squam Lakes Association campus? In 2025, the Squam Lakes region came together to plant an arboretum to serve as a community space for quiet contemplation, nature appreciation, and to learn about New England tree species, including edible fruit and nut trees.

Join Lakes Region Conservation Corps Member Chloe at Squam Lakes Association (SLA) for an arboretum tour and mindfulness workshop. Immerse yourself in the SLA's Community Arboretum while learning how to identify common New England tree species and care for native fruit trees. We will also explore our own connection to nature through guided mindfulness activities inspired by the arboretum.

All materials will be provided. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
