LSPA’s Giving Tree

 

Help Our Watershed Thrive

Every gift makes a difference in protecting the environmental quality of the Lake Sunapee Region. Through education, research, water quality monitoring, and collaborative action, the Lake Sunapee Protective Association (LSPA) works year-round to protect the lakes, streams, and lands that make our region so special.

Your gift helps LSPA put our mission into action. From planting native vegetation along shorelines to monitoring water quality, preventing the spread of invasive species, and connecting students with the natural world, your generosity supports the work that keeps our watershed thriving.

You can make a gift using the donation form below or visit LSPA’s Center for Lake Studies to select an individual gift from our Giving Tree in person. However you choose to give, your generosity helps protect the Lake Sunapee Region for generations to come.
