Our spring newsletter is out now, and it’s all (or mostly!) about water. If you haven’t received a copy, you can download one here to read about the Ossipee Aquifer, source of drinking water for the great majority of us in this area; the reflections of a dedicated water steward; the threat of invasive aquatic plants; the delight of sphagnum moss, one of nature’s water filters, and more. Plus our annual report, and a map of our trails for you to print and use.
Newsletter correction: Credit for the images in the article "The Aquifer Beneath Us" was misattributed. Correct credits: The large map of the watershed and aquifer was created by The Society for the Protection of NH Forests; the potential wastewater impact map was created by Dr. Robert Newton; and the map of the most vulnerable area of the aquifer is from a 2009-2010 GMCG study, with summer intern/UVM Graduate Student Mia Akaogi, entitled "Vulnerability Analysis of the Ossipee Aquifer."
