Thank you to everyone who joined Lakes Region Conservation Corps (AmeriCorps) member Graham Hovel, alongside LRCC member Jacob Brodkin, for a guided excursion exploring the basics of tree and shrub ID! The group met at LRCT's Cotton Hurd Conservation Area in Alton on a gorgeous fall morning and walked the trail, learning and following along with an informational pamphlet Graham created to help identify species.

The Lakes Region Conservation Trust is proud to announce that, with the completion of two recent land projects, the 135.5-acre Bald Ledge CE in New Hampton and the 13-acre Michael Preserve CE in Sandwich, LRCT has now conserved over 30,000 acres across the Lakes Region! That’s 30,000 acres dedicated to diverse wildlife habitats, safeguarding water quality, preserving natural heritage, and providing space for outdoor recreation and nature observation.

LRCT has conserved and stewarded land since 1979, and we are proud to have surpassed this milestone. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity and dedication of conservation-minded individuals, families, organizations, and towns who have supported our mission to preserve critical new lands, steward lands already conserved, and build a strong conservation legacy for the future.

LRCT is pleased to have worked with the Town of New Hampton to conserve 135.5 acres at Bald Ledge. The property abuts the 119-acre Sky Pond State Forest and lies close to Sky Pond and Jackson Pond. Conservation of this land protects critical habitat for wildlife and supports regional water quality, while hikers can enjoy a one-mile trail already established on the property that leads to the Bald Ledge scenic viewpoint.

Thank you to the Town of New Hampton for this wonderful opportunity to conserve an area that is important to the history of New Hampton and the natural resources of the region!

While serving with the Lakes Region Conservation Corps (AmeriCorps), members can have the opportunity to try new experiences beyond what is offered at their host sites. Yesterday, LRCT members spent the day with the Green Mountain Conservation Group learning how to isolate DNA, then how to amplify it in order to observe it on gel electrophoresis:

"For our purposes, this was to detect SWF(Spiny Water Flea), an invasive zooplankton that has found its way into Lake Winnipesaukee and other major and minor water sources in the Lakes Region. We used a machine called a thermocycler to perform the PCR(Polymerase Chain Reaction) on samples of water combined with a mixture of DNA replicating agents to detect if there were traces of SWF in the water source the samples were collected from. After replicating any DNA that might have been in the sample, we added our water to the gel in order to separate DNA strands by size to better observe them. The photos above show that process. We had to have very steady hands so as to not poke through the gel and lose our samples!" - LRCT LRCC members

Thank you, GMCG, for a great day!
