BRISTOL — Join the Newfound Lake Region Association and Slim Baker Foundation as NLRA’s watershed stewards, Jenna Detar and Anthony Jaster, reflect on their service experience as Americorps members serving in the Newfound Watershed. On Thursday, Oct. 6, at 6 p.m., Anthony and Jenna will host a fireside chat with s’mores outside the Slim Baker Lodge at 301 New Chester Mountain Road.
As part of the Lakes Region Conservation Corps, a region-wide AmeriCorps program, watershed stewards lend their time and talents to further the mission of conserving the Newfound watershed during a six-month service period. Jenna and Anthony have supported water quality monitoring of Newfound Lake and its tributaries, guarded against aquatic invasive species, built and led engaging programs for residents and visitors, and worked with community partners on projects around the watershed. Now that their service period is drawing to a close, Anthony and Jenna talk about their work with NLRA and LRCC this summer, share their experiences in the watershed, and reflect on what they’ve learned through the program.
This program is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Participants can register at NewfoundLake.org/events.
