Join us Saturday May 29 for a bird walk through some of our Sugar Hill lands.

The walk will start at 7 a.m. at 80 Post Road, Sugar Hill. We will go through meadow, early successional, and mature mixed hardwood habitats.  In abundance right now are a variety of warblers, vireos, thrushes, flycatchers, woodpeckers and sapsuckers, wrens, sparrows, tanagers, grosbeaks, orioles, and a local favorite, the bobolinks. A whippoorwill was heard recently.

The walk will go through the Foss Forest and the Evelyn-MacCornack Forest, which are owned by ACT, and across the open fields of Bronson Hill, conserved by the Perkins and Porter families.

For more information call us at 603-823-7777. For directions click here.
