As the busy season at Chocorua Lake draws to a close, we gather to protect the shoreline from erosion and the wear and tear of human use. Volunteering with a view!

Please join us on Friday, September 4, 9-11:30AM, for a Stewardship Day helping to care for the lakeshore at the Island at Chocorua Lake, right off of Route 16. Many of the public access areas along the lakeshore are used intensively throughout the summer season. We spread wood-chip mulch several times a year to protect the roots of the trees and shrubs that grow near the lake and are essential to limiting erosion at the lake edge. 

Please bring a shovel or other tools for spreading mulch, if you are able, as well as work gloves and a mask. We’ll work far enough apart to allow for social distancing, but close enough to have a conversation when needed. Be prepared for bugs and ticks just in case. 

Feel free to come for all or some of the morning. Please call ahead at 323-6252, or email lflaccus@chocorualake.org to let us know you will be coming so that we can let you know of any added safety precautions or changes in the schedule.
