Let’s Keep Moments Like These From Being Just a Memory

Today Lake Winnipesaukee faces unprecedented threats requiring unprecedented action. The most visible and dangerous sign that we must do more is the alarming emergence of cyanobacterial blooms that turn the Lake’s clear water pea soup green – unsafe for swimming or other activities we all cherish. Whether these blooms become larger and more frequent depends on what we do – or fail to do – now.

Concerted action and generous support are central to our success.
