Join the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA) for a guided hike in conserved lands on Plymouth Mountain on September 20 at 9am. Land conservation is one of the best ways to protect the health of Newfound Lake and other water bodies, as forested areas at higher elevations help soak up rainwater and limit the pollution that makes it into waterways. Plymouth Mountain forms one piece of the watershed around Newfound Lake, and protected land along its slope and at the summit helps protect the lake below. Led by NLRA volunteers and staff, participants will explore Fauver Link and Sutherland Trail on Plymouth Mountain, see views to the north, and get a new perspective on keeping the watershed healthy. This moderate-to-hard, approximately 4 mile hike has some steep sections and exposed rock at the top.  Registration is required and space is limited. Register online at NewfoundLake.org/events or call 603-744-8689.

The Newfound Lake Region Association’s mission is to protect Newfound Lake and its watershed.  Along with educational programs to foster stewardship of our natural resources, the NLRA performs water quality monitoring, stormwater management, invasive species monitoring and prevention, and land conservation.
