Fresh air! Free workout! Friends! Come spend a morning in a beautiful place stewarding land with us.

Please join Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Debra Marnich on Tuesday, September 13, 9-11AM, for a Stewardship Morning at Moose Meadows, right off of Route 16 across from the quilt shop and just south of the Stoney Brooke Sawyers. We’ll be weeding around and mulching fruiting shrubs we’ve planted there to improve habitat for wildlife, and trimming around the edge of the field. When that work is done, we’ll head down the road to the Island on Chocorua Lake to spread wood chips that help prevent erosion along the lake shore and protect tree and shrub roots in high use areas.

Bring work gloves and a shovel and/or long-handled clippers if you have them, water and a snack, and please wear sturdy, close-toed shoes. We will have some tools available if needed. Be prepared for bugs and ticks just in case. Feel free to come for all or some of the morning. We’ll meet at the entrance to the field, across from the quilt shop—you can pull into the field by the tree with CLC and NRCS signs on it. Please register below so that we can let you know of any changes in the schedule.

CLC Stewardship Director Debra Marnich holds a BS in Zoology and an MS in Forestry. Her major interests and professional focus areas include combining wildlife and forestry practices to manage for both sound silvicultural and optimum wildlife habitat, creating early successional and bird nesting habitat, pollinator habitat creation, promoting small diverse farms local food production/agriculture, promoting land conservation and protection, environmental education, and integrating all resources concerns to create a balanced conservation system.
