In appearance they may look like insects, but in fact springtails belong to a diverse group of wingless arthropods called Collembola, and there are thousands of species around the world.
It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week. The work of the CLC, especially the stewardship required to care for our conserved lands and waters, would not be possible without the support of dozens of volunteers. Many thanks to all of you!
A harbinger of spring, Mourning cloaks (Nymphalis antiopa) are one of the few butterflies that overwinter as an adult butterfly, sheltering in place under tree bark in surrounding forests through the cold and snow.
A total of 11 water samples were collected and analyzed in Chocorua Lake from May 3 through October 4, 2019. Read an analysis of the 2019 Chocorua Lake Water Quality Report here.
The trail on CLC’s Charlotte C. Browne Memorial Woods provides a moderate walk through fields, uplands, and along the edges of the Chocorua River before looping back through the woods and past a giant glacial erratic.
From 1993 to 2018 Harriet Hofheinz and a team of volunteers surveyed thrush populations in the Chocorua Lake Basin, and found, over that time, a decline in numbers. She has shared the results of her work with us, written in collaboration with Henry C. Stevens.
