Event Details

Good company and free exercise in the fresh air while helping protect a place we all share, with a view of beautiful mountains to boot! Chocorua Lake Conservancy is hosting a stewardship morning at the Island public access areas along Chocorua Lake.

Join us on Tuesday, May 7 from 3-5PM to help care for a place beloved by so many. The land all along the Route 16 side of the lake has been conserved by CLC, and through the support of donors and volunteers CLC is able to make this land accessible to the public. Public areas that receive heavy recreationals use need regular stewardship to ensure access, water quality and a healthy ecosystem. We’ll be spreading wood chips, as we do regularly, to help stabilize the shore during busy seasons with lots of foot traffic. Many hands make light work!

Meet at 3PM at the Island public parking area on Chocorua Lake Road just off of Route 16 on the eastern shore of Chocorua Lake and we’ll go from there. Bring work gloves, a rake, and/or a shovel, and a wheelbarrow if you have one; if you don't have these we’ll have a few extras available. Wear sturdy close-toed shoes or boots and bring water and a snack, if you like, as well as bug or sun protection as needed, and a bathing suit if you’d like to go for a brisk dip after! Please register in advance at chocorualake.org/events to let us know you’ll join us—we want to be able to reach you if plans change or the weather changes plans!
