Our spring/summer newsletter is out. It includes our Annual Report, stories about stewards, soil, lake bathymetry, poison ivy, and lots more! If you didn’t get one in the mail, hard copies will be available throughout the summer at our kiosks in the Grove and at the Island on Chocorua Lake, and in the CLC office in Chocorua Village, or you can download a digital version here.
Though we admire the topography surrounding Chocorua Lake, we seldom think about the fact that the lake bottom has its own topography, referred to as “bathymetry.” The shape of the land surface, above or below water, tells a story of the natural forces and processes that shaped the earth—how mountains and lakes came to be.
Writing, art, and poetry about the Chocorua Lake Basin, musings on the importance of naming things and knowing the names of things, photos at the lake from a 1920 family album, info about covenants, GIS, Leave No Trace, and loons, a calendar of summer events, updates on CLC activities, our Annual Report, and more.
