Lakes Congress
Lakes Congress is our annual education, training, and networking event. It is designed for lake and other natural resource stewards, lake managers, business leaders, and municipal and political leaders to gain knowledge and skills to educate, advocate, and organize to restore and preserve the health of New Hampshire’s 1,000 lakes and ponds.
