NEWFOUNDLAKELIFE.COM January 2024 NH LAKES Brings on Brea Arvidson
as the New Director of Programs
Arvidson will expand the organization’s efforts to restore and preserve lake health across the state.
“Ken Rogers, Noble Grand of Cardigan Lodge I.O.O.F. #38 in Bristol, presents Dan MacLean, Assistant Director of the Tapply- Thompson Community Center in Bristol with a check for $500 towards their fundraising goals.”
NH LAKES has hired Brea Arvidson as Director of Pro- grams. Having been born in New Hampshire and growing up in Harrisville surrounded by lakes and ponds, Brea has a deep appreciation for the essen- tial role lakes play in the Granite State.
Brea comes to NH LAKES as an accomplished aquatic bi- ologist with nearly a decade of experience specializing in water resource monitoring and man- agement in the Northeast. She actively contributes to the sci- entific community and engages with local partners as Co-Chair of the Communication and Development Committees with the North American Lake Man- agement Society and as a Plant Conservation Volunteer with Native Plant Trust.
"I'm thrilled to join NH LAKES to protect a place I hold close to my heart,” Brea

explained. “Our water resources are worth our time and focus and are integral to our local ecology and economy – and our way of life. To adapt a well-known say- ing about the earth – we do not inherit these lakes for ourselves, we borrow them from our chil- dren."
The Director of Programs leads the organization’s conser-
vation outreach programs and plays a collaborative role in im- plementing the organization’s public policy and advocacy pro- gram.
“Brea joins the NH LAKES Team at a critical time,” ex- plained Andrea LaMoreaux, President of NH LAKES. “The health of our lakes is at a tipping point. If we want future genera- tions to be able to enjoy and de- pend on clean and healthy lakes, we must do more to restore and preserve them. I look forward to Brea expanding and enhancing our team’s efforts to do more.”
Established in 1992, the mission of NH LAKES, a statewide, publicly supported nonprofit organization, is to restore and preserve the health of New Hampshire’s lakes. For more information, visit nhlakes. org, email info@nhlakes.org, or call 603.226.0299

HEBRON - A free program that connects youth and fami- lies to the natural world.

As we look across the fro- zen landscape, the natural world looks and feels like a very differ- ent place- even water is behaving differently! At Nature Station, visitors will learn about snow, ice, and how local wildlife survive through the winter. See how cold weather changes the behavior of water, other substances, and animals living in the Newfound Watershed. Participants will also make a craft to take home.
