In our beautiful corner of the world here in Chocorua, New Hampshire, we are surrounded by stunning natural beauty. But how do we ensure this beauty endures for future generations? One powerful tool in our conservation toolkit is the conservation easement.

This book could not be more timely and inspiring. It is essential reading for anyone thinking about how to store and use water wisely, how to protect human infrastructure from human-created risks, and how to restore damaged ecosystems in these changing times.

This beautiful new children’s book, shares the story of a family and community’s care for the amphibians in their neighborhood, especially on Big Night, the first warm, rainy night (or nights) of springs when amphibians migrate en masse from their winter habitats in upland woods to wetlands and vernal pools.

We have mountain hiking trails, snowmobile trails, XC ski trails and walking trails. The one type of trail we don’t have is an all persons accessible trail. That is about to change! 

Big Night comes once, sometimes twice, each spring, or can occur as several medium or smaller nights. It's the magical moment when the temperature and humidity are just right, and spotted salamanders, wood frogs, and other amphibians migrate from wherever they wintered to nearby vernal pools and wetlands where they will breed.

On CLC’s recently acquired Browne, Greenough, VerPlanck Forest property, we are making strides to manage the land with climate-smart practices for current and future climate resilience.
