New! Fishing Line Recycling at Lake
Since early 2024, FOLQ has been working on a program to install fishing line recycling receptacles around Lake Quannapowitt. Receptacles will be installed this spring. Any fishing line, lures, bobbers, and hooks found around the lake can be placed in the receptacles. FOLQ will empty the bins regularly throughout the year.
Volunteer with FOLQ
FOLQ is a 100% volunteer organization and is always looking for new people who would be interested in supporting clean up, conservation, and beautification efforts around the lake. Consider some of the ways you might lend a hand at Lake Quannapowitt! Most of our volunteer options are family-friendly.
Bricks by the Lake
Initiated in 2006, Bricks by the Lake is a program that raises funds for improvements in lakeside parklands while also enabling personal memorials on engraved bricks located. This wonderful program allows the public to purchase an engraved brick to be installed around the flagpole at Col. Connelly Park.
