Volunteer: Water Quality Training

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.

CANCELLED – Volunteer: National Trails Day

Join the Squam Lakes Association as we celebrate National Trails Day by maintaining Wentworth Trail to the summit of Mt Israel. National Trails Day recognizes the incredible benefits federal, state, and local trails provide for recreation and exposure to nature.

Canopy of Contagion

Come join us as we learn about forest pathology! We will identify cankers, wilts, foliar diseases and some fungi on this 2.5 mile hike around Chamberlain Renyolds memorial forest.

Open House and Ribbon Cutting

You're warmly invited to join us at the Squam Lakes Association's Open House and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Saturday, June 21 from 1–3 PM.

Ecosystem Services

Join the Squam Lakes Association for an educational walk at Chamberlain Reynolds Memorial Forest. As we hike, we'll discuss the different benefits that our ecosystems provide. Being aware of the different ecosystems in the watershed and what they provide is important for how we appreciate and protect them. This is a great program for anyone looking to learn more about their surroundings and think more about the ways we interact with the environment.

Think Like a Fish: Seasonal Fish Behavior

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.

Volunteer: Water Quality Day

Join us for a boat ride on Squam Lake to help collect a water column sample at Moultonborough Bay as part of our summer water-quality monitoring program. We will learn about how the SLA monitors Squam by completing a set of measurements together and then enjoy a lunch on Bowman Island.

Introduction to Sprint Canoeing

Many of us have heard of canoeing and kayaking, but a lesser known variation of the paddling sports is the sprint canoe. Stop by the Squam Lakes Association to learn about the sport of Spring Canoeing from competing Sprint Canoe athlete, Ernest Byers!
