Earth Day Adopt-a-Highway Trash Cleanup

  • The Grove, Chocorua Lake Conservancy (map)

Come spend a spring morning with friends and neighbors tidying up the detritus of winter from the stretch of Route 16 that runs along Chocorua Lake. CLC volunteers have been cleaning up Route 16 since 2003, when CLC adopted the two miles of highway from Heavenly Hill to the north end of the lake.

On Saturday, April 20, from 10-11:30 AM, join Chocorua Lake Conservancy for our Earth Day Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup along Route 16. Help us clean up plastics and other trash before they degrade and leach pollution into the lake. We’ll meet in the Grove by Chocorua Lake, near the Narrows Bridge at the end of Chocorua Lake Road close to Route 16, at 10AM. Please come with gloves, good walking shoes, and wear bright, preferably day-glo clothing. CLC Executive Director Alex Moot will provide trash bags and safety vests. 

Please sign up in advance below so that we can let you know about any schedule changes. We hope you can join us—more helpers means we all finish faster!
