Several times a year, we gather to protect the shoreline of Chocorua Lake from erosion and the wear and tear of human use. Volunteering with a view!

Please join us on Thursday, July 8, 8-10AM, 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 regularly 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, garden rake, or other tools for spreading mulch, if you are able, as well as work gloves, and a wheelbarrow, if you have one. We’ll also have extra tools.

If you have not yet been vaccinated, or are less than two weeks from your last shot, please bring a mask for moments when social distancing is not possible. Other good things to bring: sun and bug protection, a water bottle, a snack, and a bathing suit so you can jump in the lake after! Please email lflaccus@chocorualake.org with your phone number to let us know you will be coming so that we can let you know of any changes in the schedule.
