If you are reading this page, you probably know that Kroka Expeditions is a non-profit wilderness education school based on an organic farm on the border of Alstead and Marlow NH. As part of our unique curriculum of wilderness adventure and sustainable living, Kroka has been bringing young people to Lake Warren for many many years, and countless local children have enjoyed their first experience of canoeing with Kroka on the gentle waters surrounding Pine Island. The care that is given to the health and water quality of the lake, and the engagement of the Warren Lake Preservation Association, and the communities at Chase’s Mill, The Center at Orchard Hill, and the Monadnock Conservancy have made this the most precious natural resource of our local Marlow/Alstead region.
We have recently learned that this beautiful wooded peninsula on the north end of Lake Warren is currently for sale and being promoted for the construction of new vacation homes. Concerned by this news, the Kroka community has been mobilizing our resources in order to attempt to conserve this parcel and protect it from development.
Thanks to some immediate strong leadership from the Kroka community and our neighbors and friends around Lake Warren, we have received a combination of donations and pledges totaling $439,250 (as of Sunday June 7th, 2026). Thanks to this initial outpouring of generosity we had the confidence to negotiate a signed agreement with the seller that will now give us 60 days to fundraise the remaining balance of $310,750.
We are also grateful for the approval and support from the Lake Warren Preservation Association, the Town of Alstead Select Board, and the Monadnock Conservancy, and the Mill Hollow Heritage Association – who have been our partners in encouraging and advising our process.
