Good company and free exercise in the fresh air while helping care for a place we all share, with a view of a beautiful mountain as a bonus!
Join us on Thursday, October 16, from 9–11 AM at the Grove at Chocorua Lake to help care for a place beloved by so many. The shoreline along Route 16 and along Chocorua Lake Road by the Narrows Bridge has been conserved by CLC. Through the support of donors and volunteers, CLC makes this land accessible to the public. Public areas that receive heavy recreational 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. We’ll also be working to prevent invasive species from spreading on the lake shore. Many hands make light work!
Meet at 9 AM at the Grove public parking area on Chocorua Lake Road just off of Route 16 at the southern end 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. Please register in advance above to let us know you’ll join us—we want to be able to reach you if plans change or the weather changes plans!
