In December 2016, the John Moir, Jr., family, of Washington Hill Road, Chocorua, and Stuart, Florida, presented a wonderful holiday gift to the Chocorua community and to the Chocorua Lake Conservancy.
A land trust is a nonprofit organization that, as all or part of its mission, actively works to conserve land by undertaking or assisting in land or conservation easement acquisitions, or by its stewardship of such land or easements.
A pristine lake, an undisturbed lakeshore, a forest in its wild state, a beautiful field—appreciating the beauty of nature is just the beginning for the Chocorua Lake Conservancy.
The view from the hill overlooking Chocorua Lake is iconic: from the historic barn downward to Little Chocorua Lake, past the Narrows Bridge, over Chocorua Lake and up to majestic Mount Chocorua. Each year thousands of photos are snapped of this beautiful view.
When a land trust accepts a conservation covenant or easement, it accepts a perpetual, legal responsibility to protect the conservation values described in that covenant or easement, to visit and inspect the protected property on a regular basis, and to uphold the terms of the covenant or easement.
We are excited to welcome Lynne Flaccus to the position of Stewardship Director. Lynne will be responsible for advancing the stewardship program of the Conservancy, which is responsible for managing or stewarding 3,800 acres of protected land in the Chocorua Lake Basin.
