NH Outside

This collaborative writing project features the work of volunteer Master Gardeners, Community Tree Stewards, Wildlife Coverts Cooperators, Lay Lakes Monitors, and Marine Docents, with occasional contributions from Extension professionals.

NH Outside columns aim to connect readers to New Hampshire’s wild and cultivated outdoor environments, motivating folks to get outside more often, to learn more about the topics we write about, and to become closer observers of the natural world.
