Our Mission

The Loon Preservation Committee’s mission is to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons throughout New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the larger natural world.

“Never doubt that a small group of concerned and committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, that’s the only thing that ever has.”

~ Margaret Mead

LPC HISTORY

The Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) was created in 1975 in response to concerns about a dramatically declining loon population and the effects of human activities on loons.  LPC’s mission is to restore and maintain a healthy population of loons throughout New Hampshire; to monitor the health and productivity of loon populations as sentinels of environmental quality; and to promote a greater understanding of loons and the larger natural world.

For over 40 years, the Loon Preservation Committee has undertaken state-wide monitoring, research, management and outreach to preserve loons and their habitats. 

Loon Education

Learn about loons including information about their behavior, how to identify a loon, and how you can help in preservation efforts.

The Voice of the Loon

Perhaps one of the most fascinating things about loons is their haunting and variable voice.
