Thank you to our stewards and volunteers!

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week. The work of the CLC, especially the stewardship required to care for our conserved lands and waters, would not be possible without the support of dozens of volunteers. Many thanks to all of you!

A harbinger of spring, Mourning cloaks (Nymphalis antiopa) are one of the few butterflies that overwinter as an adult butterfly, sheltering in place under tree bark in surrounding forests through the cold and snow.

Explore the Charlotte C. Browne Memorial Woods

The trail on CLC’s Charlotte C. Browne Memorial Woods provides a moderate walk through fields, uplands, and along the edges of the Chocorua River before looping back through the woods and past a giant glacial erratic.

From 1993 to 2018 Harriet Hofheinz and a team of volunteers surveyed thrush populations in the Chocorua Lake Basin, and found, over that time, a decline in numbers. She has shared the results of her work with us, written in collaboration with Henry C. Stevens.
