Volunteer for the CLC + in a beautiful place + with views of Mount Chocorua behind the Chocorua River + a giant glacial erratic that’s split in two = a good morning.

On Thursday, July 1, from 9-11:30AM, join Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director and naturalist Lynne Flaccus for a Stewardship Day at the Charlotte C. Browne Memorial Woods on Washington Hill Road in Chocorua. Join us for a morning of clearing along the edges of the fields so that when it’s time to mow, there is room to get in close to the edges. The branches on the trees along the field reach out into the sun of the open spaces, shading the blueberries growing there and making it more of a challenge when it comes time to mow. Your efforts will be appreciated by the person who helps us keep these fields clear! 

Bring work gloves and your favorite clippers or hand saw if you have them, water and a snack. We will have some tools available if needed. Be prepared for bugs and ticks just in case. 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. Feel free to come for all or some of the morning. 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.

The C.C. Browne Woods is a 67-acre parcel that is bounded by the Chocorua River to the north, with a short dead-end and loop trail. After our task is complete you may want to take a walk and check out the river with its spectacular views of Mount Chocorua and the giant glacial erratic along the trail—one of the more amazing rocks around!

Naturalist Lynne Flaccus has 30+ years of experience in land conservation and stewardship, managing protected properties, studying wildlife, and educating adults and children.
