We protect the Newfound Lake Watershed. Through conservation, education, and stewardship, we build a healthy, resilient ecosystem—for today and for generations to come.
Community Education
By educating and engaging our community, we can ensure a continued tradition of stewardship.
Water Quality
Newfound Lake’s water quality is measured weekly from mid-May through September at seven monitoring sites.
Invasive Species
NLRA Lake Hosts and Weed Watchers, along with conscientious recreators, can keep invasive aquatic species at bay.
Grey Rocks, Our New Home
