With naturalist Kyle Ball. Learn how to identify the four Oak species in this area, and how to efficiently and safely collect and process acorns for eating.
The area around Chocorua Lake provides a widely diverse and rich fungal habitat. Ever wonder about the hundreds of miles of mycelium beneath our feet, of which we see only the fruiting bodies? Or which mushrooms are poisonous or edible?

What’s up and what’s new with the forest fungi? What’s the state of the wood-wide web? Are fungi running the forest?
Forests for the People is the story of the forest conservation movement that started in New England and led to the establishment of 41 Eastern National Forests, including the White Mountain National Forest.
What rodent increases biodiversity wherever they spend their time, creates habitat for myriad other species, provides housing for other animals, shelters fish, and offers nesting sites for birds on the “rooftops” of their homes? Come find out!
What does it mean to think like a forester? What does a trained forester see when they walk out into the woods? Come find out!
Yes, there are several large-scale solutions to the unprecedented warming of our planet, which any individual can become a part of.

When you take a walk you probably recognize common plants and flowers—dandelion! rose! daylily!—but when you swim or kayak, do you know the names of the plants who live in the water you are enjoying?
If we could slow down to geological time, we would feel the earth rising and falling beneath our feet in a perpetual churn of motion. Alas, our lives are too brief. We can, however, learn to read the landscape to understand the movement that came before our time.
Join CLC Stewardship Director Debra Marnich for a leisurely guided paddle on Chocorua Lake to learn about who lives in and around the lake.
Join us for a walk with UNH Cooperative Extension Natural Resources Field Specialist Wendy Scribner on Chocorua Lake Conservancy conservation land in Chocorua, where we will talk about how our forests sequester and store carbon.
Please join Cook Memorial Library and Chocorua Lake Conservancy live via Zoom for “Forest Management and Carbon” with UNH Cooperative Extension Natural Resources Field Specialist Wendy Scribner.
”Vernal” means “in, of, or appropriate to spring.” “Pool” means “a small area of still water, typically one formed naturally.” But put them together and you have a magical temporary wetland without which many species would not be able to breed.
While the larger forces threatening our pollinator populations may seem far away or hard to grasp, we can take practical steps every day here at home to support native and naturalized pollinators.
Drop drop drip drip, maple sap is filling buckets across northern New England this time of year, part of a practice of sugar-making that stretches back long before Colonial times.

Hearing the buzz around solar energy, but not sure where to start? As energy prices rise, are you looking for ways to save money on home heating and electricity? Would you like your business, town, or school district to reduce its energy costs, carbon footprint, and impact on the climate? Join us live via Zoom on Wednesday, March 1, at 7PM
Climate science basics, health effects of climate change and the health risks posed by climate change-related phenomena including extreme heat, pollen and allergens, air pollution, extreme weather events, and vector-borne disease, climate and clean energy solutions, and actions we can take as individuals.
With cold winters and long dark nights comes the opportunity to experience the unique magic of being outdoors in the brightness of a full moon on snow.
What rodent increases biodiversity wherever they spend their time, creates habitat for myriad other species, provides housing for other animals, shelters fish, and offers nesting sites for birds on the “rooftops” of their homes? Come find out!
While the effects of climate change may not yet be as dramatic in New Hampshire as in some other places, its impacts are being felt by the tourism and other industries, by municipalities, in demographic changes to the state, and by the land and water and all who dwell therein.
