Welcome
The Acton-Shapleigh Youth Conservation Corps (ASYCC), was founded in 2001, and is committed to protecting the waterways within Mousam Lake and Square Pond Watershed.
This is achieved by providing education, community outreach, courtesy boat inspections, technical assistance, and the installation of effective erosion control practices to the communities of Acton and Shapleigh.
The ASYCC continues to work to sustain and protect the valuable waterways of Goose Pond, Loon Pond, Mousam Lake, and Square Pond for the enjoyment of the community and its visitors.

We had a successful golf fund-raiser this year! Your donations demonstrate what can be accomplished when property owners, business owners and donors come together in support of our lakes.
We had a good day, though quite warm! All the golfers were in a good mood and said they had a great time. We ended up with 79 golfers, somewhat below our previous years numbers. The donations truly made a huge financial contribution and rivaled previous years with higher player numbers. We netted more than $16,000, which covers a significant portion of our annual budget. Please remember to visit our website, www.ASYCC.com, for additional organization and event information, including details of next year’s tournament, scheduled for Friday, August 1, 2025.
Once again, we thank you for your generous support, as does the community of over 2,000 lakefront property owners. Good stewardship of our lakes yields a thriving environment for all.
