Patricia Light | Support HB1020

I support this designation because NH lakes play a huge role in the state's economy. Winnipesaukee may be the largest lake, and a major driver of recreation and tourism, but all the lakes support local businesses, communities, and jobs. Every one of New Hampshire’s nearly 1,000 lakes and ponds, large or small, well-known or tucked away, supports wildlife, recreation, and the character of surrounding communities. We must spotlight the importance of all lakes and the shared responsibility to protect them, for current and future generations.
