Early in 2022, Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC) and Cook Memorial Library (CML) met with a group of interested community members to discuss climate program possibilities. Since then, with inspiration from that group and continuing conversations with folks around the community, we have been convening an ongoing program series called Climate & Community (C&C).
This past September, the Friends of the Cook Memorial Library asked us to speak at their Annual Meeting and share the history and current activity of CLC with their group. Many thanks to the Friends for this invitation, which provided the impetus to write a short history of the Lake Basin and the CLC.
A big thank you to Green Mountain Conservation Group for hosting CLC Stewardship Director Deb Marnich and Haley Andreozzi from UNHCE for Wednesday’s Wildlife Corridors Workshop. If you missed it, here is the replay and the resource list from GMCG—thanks to them for this, as well, and for all the work they do protecting the water in this region.
Now that the Chocorua Mountain Club has been merged into CLC, and as the CLC expands its own trail stewardship, we are seeking volunteers to help in different ways to care for the many trails up Mount Chocorua and on nearby conservation land.
Read about the work of a small land trust, Land Trust Alliance standards, upcoming projects to restore and stabilize the eastern shoreline of Chocorua Lake and repair the dam at the southern end of Little Lake, and the recent merger of the Chocorua Mountain Club into CLC. Also: a Q&A with the CLC Board of Directors, water snakes, fungi and forests, our Legacy Circle Challenge, and more!
