Join the Squam Lakes Association on Saturday March 3rd, for a snowshoe hike in Belknap Woods. Participants will be guided by Lakes Region Conservation Corps member, Meghan Christie, to learn more about the intricacies and science of snow and ice surrounding us.
Over 70% of Earth’s surface is covered in water (liquid or frozen) and the average human body is over half water – so clearly this molecule is very important in all aspects of life around us! Meghan is excited to share her passion for all things (and phases of) water, with the hopes that participants will gain a deeper appreciation for nature’s artwork – and potentially a new method of experiencing it! All levels of hiking ability are welcome.
The walk will be roughly one mile long. Participants should be dressed properly and prepared for any type of inclement weather, and will receive more detailed instructions upon registration for the program. The SLA can lend snowshoes to up to six participants. Spikes could be more useful, and are available for purchase in the SLA store. Participants will meet in the parking lot of Belknap Woods and begin the walk at 1pm. We will aim to be back in the parking lot before 3pm.
For more information, or to sign up for this Adventure Ecology Program, please visit the SLA website (www.squamlakes.org) or contact the SLA directly at (603) 968 7336. The SLA is currently offering Adventure Ecology Programs on Tuesdays and Saturdays. These programs are free of charge, open to the public, and cover a wide range of conservation and nature related topics. Adventure Ecology Programs are planned and hosted by the AmeriCorps - Lakes Region Conservation Corps members in order to further the overall mission of the Association.
