The Lake Winnipesaukee Watershed Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to preserving and protecting the natural resources of Lake Winnipesaukee and its watershed.

Our recent and ongoing activities have focused on promoting and developing a watershed wide management plan for the Lake Winnipesaukee watershed through a partnership and subwatershed approach. We have been working closely with the Lakes Region Planning Commission and other conservation and environmental organizations on this effort, and can report on the successful award winning on-line tool "Winnipesaukee Gateway", developed to inform and involve the public, provide opportunities for individual action, and enhance coordination of activities and communication between and among communities throughout the watershed.

The Center Harbor Bay Subwatershed represents the next subwatershed to develop a management plan toward the goal of a comprehensive management plan for Lake Winnipesaukee. The Lakes Region Planning Commission is seeking individuals from the community to be part of the Subwatershed Advisory Committee. If interested in finding out more about what's involved, please contact Dari Sassan, LRPC, at 279-8171.
