Only four percent of land in New Hampshire is early successional habitat, open fields, grasslands, and recently cleared forest that provides important habitat for insects, birds, and mammals, and maintaining land for these habitats in an ongoing project.

On Wednesday, September 30, from 9-11 AM, join Chocorua Lake Conservancy for a morning of camaraderie, exercise, and maintenance of early successional habitat at Charlotte C. Browne Woods on Washington Hill Road in Chocorua. We’ll be clearing saplings in the early successional habitat strip between the new off-road parking area and the woods to maintain both the parking area and the habitat it sits within. Please register so that we can let you know of any changes in the schedule.

Bring work gloves and your favorite clippers or hand saws if you have them, water and a snack, and please wear sturdy, close-toed shoes. We will have some tools available if needed. Be prepared for sun, bugs and ticks just in case. Meet at the parking area at C.C. Browne Woods. Feel free to come for all or some of the morning.
