It’s a shame to see the damage that has been done at Constitution Park in Ossipee. Over the years that damage has included willful vandalism of interpretive signs set up on trails to help people understand and appreciate the nature around them.
The Ossipee Lake shoreline harbors many uncommon species due to its similarities to the coastal, sandy regions to the south and east.

The top story in Ossipee this year, in terms of the amount of interest it has generated from townspeople, has been the proposed beach at Long Sands, a state owned natural area on Ossipee Lake.
