The Fall 2026 edition of Lakeside, the quarterly newsletter published by NH LAKES, features SLAM President Dave Scarborough and his efforts to strengthen Silver Lake’s voice in statewide lake protection initiatives.
After learning about the NH LAKES Lake Advocates Network and upcoming legislation affecting New Hampshire’s lakes, Dave recognized that protecting Silver Lake would require more than local advocacy alone.
He invited SLAM members to join a dedicated Advocacy Corps to stay informed and engaged when important lake-related legislation comes before the New Hampshire Legislature.
Today, SLAM has more than 400 members, providing a strong community foundation for lake protection and advocacy. The Advocacy Corps helps keep interested members informed about legislation affecting Silver Lake and other New Hampshire lakes.
As former SLAM President Ted Kramer noted, three important pieces of lake-protection legislation passed last year, demonstrating the value of coordinated statewide advocacy.
Thank you to everyone participating in these efforts and helping make Silver Lake’s voice heard!
