Volunteer Pizza Night

Volunteers make possible many facets of Chocorua Lake Conservancy’s stewardship work. They are part of both CLC and the larger community, and we are grateful for the ideas and guidance they share with us.

On Thursday, June 22, from 5:307:30PM in Chocorua, Chocorua Lake Conservancy (CLC) invites current and prospective CLC volunteers to learn about volunteer opportunities, share ideas and questions with CLC board and staff, and visit with other volunteers. We hope you can join us! Please register in advance at bit.ly/

•Yesteryear continued from page 3 chief flung himself to his death. Other stories add dramatic details, such as settlers chasing Chocorua up the mountain and setting fire to the forest, whereby the chief chose to leap to his death rather than burn in the fire.

The curse Chocorua placed upon his former friends is said to warn, “May the Great Spirit curse you when he speaks in the clouds and his words are fire!”

Further, another version in the story “Chocorua’s Curse” by Lydia Maria Child, says Chocorua’s words from the mountain were, “A curse upon ye white men! May the Great Spirit curse ye when he speaks in the clouds, and his words are fire!”

Both versions go on to predict dire times for the settlers, with death to their cattle, and attacks by wolves and panthers.

CLC-062223 so that we have plenty of food and drink for everyone. We’ll send you directions to the event location when you register.

This event is one in a series of Chocorua Lake Conservancy programs held throughout the year to encourage people of all ages to enjoy Chocorua Lake and the trails and woods that surround it, and to learn more about the natural world we inhabit. To learn about upcoming events, visit www.chocorualake.org, sign up for our monthly e-newsletter, or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

Today, the rugged mountain is hiked by many and extremely popular with breathtaking views from the top. It is a challenging climb, but the mountain is iconic for the area, being captured over the years in paintings, drawings and photographs.

Mount Whittier and Mount Chocorua have varied histories; one remembered for a native chief and his act of revenge from sorrow and the other about a mountain named for a famous and well-respected poet. One (Chocorua) became a hiking mountain that is popular year-round and the other (Whittier) was a popular ski area with an unusual gondola that made it stand out from all others in the area.
