Ways to Volunteer
Lake Water Quality Monitor
Help safeguard lake health by collecting and processing water samples from Newfound Lake. The data you gather informs conservation decisions and helps us spot potential qater quality issues early. Read the full position description and email Paul@NewfoundLake.org for more information and to sign up.
Tributary Water Quality Monitor
Our streams and rivers feed into Newfound Lake, and what happens upstream affects the lake's water quality. Tributary monitors help us understand the health of the watershed above the lake and identify water quality changes from development, roads, or runoff.

Bring learning to life! Newfound Nature Station volunteers guide kids and families in fun, hands-on activities that spark curiosity about the natural world and inspire the next generation of conservationists.

Lake Host
Be the front line against invasive species. Lake Hosts greet boaters at the Wellington State Park boat launch, conduct courtesy inspections for invasive aquatic species, and share how to protect New Hampshire’s lakes through clean, drain, and dry practices.
