How We Work      

LSPA works year-round to maintain the water quality of the streams, lakes and ponds within the Lake Sunapee Watershed.

Our work at LSPA includes:

• Water quality monitoring

• Laboratory analysis of water quality parameters

• Prevention of aquatic invasive species

• Education programs for children, families and adults

• Encouraging good watershed stewardship through education

• Scientific research in partnership with our Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC)

• Workshops for professionals including landscapers, property managers and town employees

• Collaboration with state and local government on policies related to water quality

LSPA Board, staff and volunteers collaborate on a wide range of projects to achieve our mission. Learn how to volunteer with LSPA here.
