Vote Like Your Lakes Depend On It
Our Lakes Need Your Help!
Our lakes need YOU to give them a voice at the local, state, and federal levels of government. Even if you don’t vote in New Hampshire, with YOUR help, we can ensure that restoring and preserving the health of our lakes–including YOUR favorite lake–is a priority for all our elected officials at all levels of government.
Through our “Vote Like Your Lakes Depend On It” campaign, we provide you with the resources for you to have conversations with candidates running for office about how restoring and preserving the health of New Hampshire’s lakes will benefit everyone in New Hampshire, today and in the future. See below and find out how you can order your very own “Vote Like Your Lakes Depend On It” Resource Kit.
You can help build a bipartisan coalition of lake-friendly elected officials at the local, state, and federal levels.
Help educate our legislators, no matter their party and whether or not you vote in New Hampshire, on the following issues related to our lakes:
• Recreation
• Economic Impacts
• Public Health
• Natural Values
