Adopt-a-Highway Earth Day Cleanup

  • the Grove, Chocorua Lake (map)

Come spend a spring morning with friends and neighbors tidying up the detritus of winter from the stretch of Route 16 that runs along Chocorua Lake. CLC volunteers have been cleaning up Route 16 since 2003, when the CLC adopted the two miles of highway from Heavenly Hill to the north end of the lake.


On Friday, April 22, from 8:45-10:30AM, join the Chocorua Lake Conservancy for our “Adopt-a-Highway” Earth Day Cleanup along Route 16. Help us clean up plastics and other trash before they degrade and leache pollution into the lake. We’ll meet in the Grove by Chocorua Lake, near the Narrows Bridge at the end of Chocorua Lake Road, at 8:45, and we usually finish by 10 or 10:30. Please come with gloves, good walking shoes, and wear bright, preferably day-glo clothing. CLC Stewardship Director Lynne Flaccus will provide trash bags. Please sign up in advance by emailing your name and phone number to events@chocorualake.org so that we can let you know about any schedule changes. We hope you can join us—more helpers means we all finish faster!
