“I’ve always meant to visit this region of the U.S but have never found the time up until now.”

“As a Lifelong New Hampshire resident, I thought I really knew the state.”

“It has been beyond inspiring to serve a community that rallies around a beautiful body of water such as Newfound Lake and its vast watershed.”

“Time is so weird right now. Yesterday feels like 3 days ago, and 2 months ago feels like 3 years ago. And I love it.”

“I hope to see my first snapping turtle underwater one of these times… ideally not anywhere near my fingers and toes though. “

“I knew for a long time that I did not want to be stuck working in an office all day long so being able to be outside all of the time has been a really cool experience.”

“I like to think that with the inclusion of the Merrimack River Watershed Council as a service site this year, the Lakes Region Conservation Corps now helps protect every step of the upper Merrimack’s watershed.”

“Hype around cutting a tree in half has been well concealed, because if I knew how good this accomplishment would feel, I would have asked Santa for an axe years and years ago.”

“All things considered, I am certainly beginning to understand the appeal of lake life.”

“As a New Hampshire native with family in the lakes region, I grew up hiking on trails in the area, some of which were and still are owned and managed by the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT), the host site I now serve with.”
