The best way to learn about Lake and Marsh Ecology, and Watershed Management is to “get out there” on the water in our pontoon boat with our wonderful captains and naturalists! We provide an educational program as well as “hands-on” water quality testing activities.
Tours are available by request from May through September for:
Town boards
School classes - Newfound Region HS, Newfound Memorial Middle School)
Camps - Onaway, Circle Program
Organizations - Audubon, Pasquaney Garden Club
B & B visitors
….. Anyone really!
