Location: Program leaders will email registrants a day or two before the program with details regarding location, what to bring, and safety protocols.
About the Morning: Join Lakes Region Conservation Corps members to remove terrestrial invasive species. Each program will begin with a lesson about how to properly identify & remove common invasive plants. Then it's time for you to help remove the species from the area! The goal is that afterwards, you will feel confident identifying and properly removing these plants from other areas in the watershed.
As always, this work is weather dependent. Should any changes to plans arise, we will provide updates. We encourage help from volunteers who love the outdoors, enjoy hands-on conservation work, and are excited to work with our LRCC AmeriCorps members!
The SLA will provide tools, safety equipment, and other resources. However, we encourage volunteers to bring their own, well labeled, tools if they want.
What to Bring: Volunteers should bring appropriate clothing (long sleeves and long pants), water, sunscreen, and a snack.

Lakes Region Conservation Corps
The Lakes Region Conservation Corps (LRCC) is an AmeriCorps service program that develops skills and experiences for conservation professionals. LRCC members are the driving force behind the Squam Lakes Association’s conservation efforts. The program provides hands-on conservation work experience and numerous certifications over a broad range of areas, which ensures that LRCC members are capable of independently approaching a variety of tasks in the environmental conservation field. Members remove invasive species from the Squam watershed, manage and act as caretakers at our backcountry campsites, maintain the SLA’s 50+ miles of trails, educate the public on local and regional conservation initiatives, spearhead reports on conservation efforts, lead SLA volunteer crews and ensure the daily functioning of the Squam Lakes Association’s programs.
