Join the Squam Lakes Association staff and Lakes Region Conservation Corps for our Spring Workday!
The Squam Lakes Association's water-quality data set is the oldest in the northeast, and we need YOU to help keep it going. Volunteer water quality monitoring is a great way to get involved in the Squam community, get outside, and contribute to important research. Join LRCC members Hunter and Carolina to learn how to conduct water sampling.
Join us from 2 pm - 4 pm as we hike around 2.0 miles up Old Bridle Path to the Rattlesnake lookout learning all about Fire Ecology from SLA's Corbin Faidley. Fire plays an important role in our ecosystems, learn about some of the plants and animals' adaptations to this element.
This will be a 2.0-mile hike through Belknap woods looking for mushrooms! Mushrooms love wet weather and spring temperature so come prepared for some awesome finds. Participants will gain an understanding of the life cycle and life strategies fungi have for reproducing and surviving as well as appreciating the diversity found in northeastern forests.
Join SLA in a wilderness first aid and CPR certification taught by SOLO. Learn about anatomy, safety, and how to assess and respond to medical emergencies with calm and confidence.
We will hike around 3 miles through the Belknap trail using Merlin and bird ID books to hopefully spot some birds and add to participants lifer lists. If you are an experienced birder please join! If you have no experience birding we’ll teach out the basic about what to look for when ID-ing a bird.
Soon enough, anglers will return to Squam Lake by water and by shore to target large and small-mouth bass for their spring spawn. But have you ever wondered why these fish start bedding now? Or how they spent their winter? Come join us at the Squam Lakes Association for a roughly 2-mile kayak trip around Piper’s Cove and learn about how the seasons affect fish behavior.
This gathering is an opportunity for members and the community to come together, hear updates on our conservation efforts, and celebrate the work being done to protect Squam Lake.
