NH LAKES ALSO WORKS AT THE MUNICIPAL LEVEL HELPING ITS LOCAL PARTNERS IMPLEMENT LAKE-FRIENDLY ORDINANCES, POLICIES, AND PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION TO DIRECT LOBBYING, NH LAKES PERFORMS INDIRECT LOBBYING BY ENGAGING ITS SUPPORTER COMMUNITY IN GRASSROOTS LOBBYING OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE. NH LAKES CARRIES OUT ITS WORK IN A COLLABORATIVE MANNER WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS AND GROUPS THROUGHOUT NEW HAMPSHIRE AND PERIODICALLY CONDUCTS RESEARCH IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THE STRATEGIC DIRECTION AND FACTUAL BASIS FOR ITS ADVOCACY POSITIONS.

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH (WEBINAR SERIES, WEBSITE, AND COMMUNICATIONS) DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, NH LAKES WAS FORCED TO REIMAGINE ITS OUTREACH PROGRAM. LAKES CONGRESS, A TWO-DAY WORKSHOP FOCUSED ON TOPICS OF LAKE STEWARDSHIP, WAS POSTPONED. IN ITS PLACE, DURING THE SUMMER, NH LAKES LAUNCHED A ROBUST WELL-ATTENDED WEEKLY WEBINAR SERIES. THE WEBINAR SERIES CONTINUED THROUGH THE FALL AND WINTER AS A MONTHLY OFFERING. TOTAL NUMBER OF REGISTRATIONS FOR THIS NEW OUTREACH ACTIVITY REACHED NEARLY 2,500. NH LAKES' WEBSITE CONTINUES TO SERVE AS A VALUABLE RESOURCE TO THOSE INTERESTED IN LAKE CONSERVATION ISSUES HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE AND BEYOND.
