Join the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA), Newfound Land Conservation Partnership (NLCP) and landowners Paul and Mary Hazelton for a guided hike of their conserved land Friday, May 17 at 9am. The season’s first hike of conserved lands in the Newfound Watershed, this event is dedicated to the memory of Suzanne Smith who was a firm supporter of conservation in the area. The Hazelton Farm and Forest along the Cockermouth River in Hebron is conserved for agricultural and forestry use. This moderate hike is approximately 3 miles.  Registration is required and space is limited. Register online at NewfoundLake.org/events or call 603-744-8689.

The NLCP is a collaboration among NLRA, the Society for the Protection of NH Forests, the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, the Nature Conservancy, and volunteer representatives from the towns of Hebron, Groton, Bristol, Bridgewater, and Alexandria. Since 2009, the Partnership has worked to promote land conservation within the Newfound Watershed through education and community outreach and has supported efforts to conserve nearly 8500 acres.

Land conservation is an important part of NLRA’s work to protect the high-quality waters of Newfound Lake and its watershed, maintaining a healthy and diverse ecosystem.  Through water quality and invasive species monitoring, educational events such as guided hikes and nature activities, and land conservation efforts that protect open spaces and help manage stormwater pollution, NLRA approaches conservation at the watershed level.  You can learn more about NLRA’s initiatives at NewfoundLake.org.
