Join us for an outdoor workshop with naturalists and outdoor educators Hillary Behr and Kyle Ball in Tamworth Village.
Lend a hand creating wood and brush piles for wildlife with recently-cut early successional habitat saplings, and learn about the benefits of brush piles, which provide habitat, cover, and food for many types of wildlife and insects. We will also be clipping small stumps of saplings the mower leaves behind.

Help us clean up plastics and other trash before they degrade and leach pollution into the lake.
To understand where we’re going, we must understand how and why we got into our current predicament.
Join us for an evening Owl Prowl with CLC Stewardship Director Debra Marnich. We’ll take a walk from The Preserve at Chocorua, following their monthly Community Soup Night benefit, listening and calling for owls and experiencing the world of nocturnal animals by the light of a near full moon.
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.
The beauty of snow is that it provides us with a natural canvas where we can see the pattern of animal tracks, other signs of animal activity, and read a story about the forest in winter.
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!
With the diminishment of certain kinds of habitat, including convenient holes in old-growth trees, cavity nesting birds may have a harder time finding places to nest. We can help!

Fresh air! Free workout! Friends! Come spend a morning in a beautiful place stewarding land with us.
Only four percent of land in New Hampshire is early successional habitat, open fields, grasslands, and recently cleared forest that provides important habitat for insects, birds, and mammals, and maintaining land for these habitats in an ongoing project.
In late summer, insects are everywhere! Join us for All About Insects—for kids! with naturalist and outdoor educator Hillary Behr, an exploration in the field for 3- to 9-year-olds and their caregivers.
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?
Join CLC Stewardship Director Debra Marnich for a leisurely guided paddle on Chocorua Lake to learn about who lives in and around the lake.

Educator and insect enthusiast Linda Graetz will share her knowledge about the basics of how to identify flies—patience, close observation and describing what you see are the most important skills you’ll need.
Stay that hand before you swat one of these two-winged wonders! We humans harbor too many fears and misconceptions about our friends the flies. Sure, some of them can cause trouble, but can you think of one creature on earth that can’t?

Want to take part in an extraordinary opportunity to contribute to valuable wildlife data collection?
When you see with the eyes of a naturalist, each new part of the landscape—field or forest, pond or stream—is full of diverse life.
Want to learn more about how to reduce the spread of certain quick-growing invasive plants without using chemicals that pose risks to pollinators and to soil health?
With spring comes the return of thousands of migratory birds, readying for nesting season in the fields and forests around the Chocorua Lake Basin.
