Our major event of the past year was to close on the Brewster Heath Brook Preserve. People have been canoeing and kayaking up past the property for years. The swampy areas that are encompassed by the purchase are wonderful in protecting our lake. But there are also beautiful things to …
The past week or so has had the weather change dramatically. It has been cold, then warm, then cold and then changing to warm. Many people didn’t guess the proper time for ice-out because it happened so quickly. The lake froze on the 8th but a few days later, it …
After the very cold spells in November, temperatures have moderated. A little rain has fallen and then some snow. Wolfeboro missed the large snowfall that southern NH got. We got 5 or 6 inches when some places got 30 inches. On Friday, a “clipper” went by and left an inch …

There are still a few spots open for our Annual Stamp Act Island Walk scheduled for August 17th starting at 9:30. A lot of dead or dying small white fish have been seen over the last few days in the lake and along the shore. These have been confirmed as …
