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

Please join Chocorua Lake Conservancy Stewardship Director Deb Marnich on Tuesday, October 3, 9-11AM, for a Stewardship Morning at Moose Meadows on Route 16 just south of Stoney Brooke Sawyers. We’ll be weeding and mulching fruiting shrubs we’ve planted there to improve habitat for wildlife, and trimming around the edge of the field to prepare it for mowing. We will also be hanging some new bluebird nest boxes built by volunteers!

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—you can pull into the field by the tree with CLC and NRCS signs on it. Please register in advance 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.
