Back inside\, you will learn the art of layering your biosphere to ensure it can recycle its own air and water for years to come. You will head home with your own miniature "Squam in a Jar" and a new perspective on how our massive watershed protects and sustains itself!Can't make it at 1:00 PM? No problem!

Join the Squam Lakes Association for a hands-on program where we’ll explore the "invisible handshake" that allows plants and microbes to thrive in a self-sustaining ecosystem. We’ll walk around the SLA campus to collect the essential "gears" for our engines—from nutrient-rich soil to the "murky" water that jumpstarts the cycle of life. Back inside\, you will learn the art of layering your biosphere to ensure it can recycle its own air and water for years to come. You will head home with your own miniature "Squam in a Jar" and a new perspective on how our massive watershed protects and sustains itself!Can't make it at 1:00 PM? No problem!
