Coverts Project Reunion Gathering - Saturday, October 4, 9:30 - 3:00, Sandwich
After the fun we had at the June gathering at the Mitchell's Tree Farm in Gilmanton, we have another fun day planned at the property of Coverts Cooperator David (CC04) and C.C. White. We'll have hikes, a picnic lunch, and a chance to tour the property of fellow Coverts volunteers. There will be lots to see! The Whites are in the middle of conducting of a wide variety of stewardship projects on their 118-acre property in the Atwood Brook watershed. They are also homesteaders, featured in the Spring 2007 edition of Northern Woodlands Magazine, and in the April 2005 issue of our Making Tracks newsletter. Mark your calendars today!
