This Week's Program:
Enjoy the cool autumn air and changing leaf colors by joining the Squam Lakes Association and Lakes Region Conservation Corps member Jasper for a ~4 mile round-trip guided hike to the summit of Mt. Israel! Starting at the Mead Base parking area, we will take the Wentworth Trail up to the summit of Mt. Israel, to an elevation of 2,620 ft. We will have a lunch/snack break while taking in the views at the summit before making our descent back down the Wentworth Trail.

What to Bring: Please make sure to bring lots of water, a packed lunch/snacks to enjoy at the summit, and weather appropriate clothing and hiking gear. This includes extra layers, rain gear, a hat, gloves, extra socks, etc.

Audience: All are welcome on this guided hike, but it is recommended for participants that are comfortable with uneven terrain and moderate to strenuous changes in elevation. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

This Week's LRCC Guide:
Hi everyone, my name is Jasper. I am an Americorps member at the SLA. I grew up in NH fishing for bass in lakes, ponds, and rivers all over the state. I have also spent time in Florida studying marine biology. I love fish, and I fish so I can interact with them in a unique way. The challenge of getting a fish to eat something that isn’t food is very engaging to me. Another one of my favorite parts about fishing is how it is a great avenue to appreciate nature. I especially enjoy seeing birds, deer, beavers, and other wildlife while fishing. Overall, spending time outdoors is always special, especially when it involves fish.

SLA's Adventure Ecology Trips:
Throughout the year, the Squam Lakes Association offers free programs open to the public on a variety of nature and conservation related topics. The Adventure Ecology programs are presented by the Lakes Region Conservation Corps members who perform important conservation work in support of the Association's mission.
