Outings & Events

Special Opportunity: Learn Tracking with Susan!

Because of the enthusiastic response to the one-day tracking field trips in October, PLC is now planning to send 18 tracking novices to a full Keeping Track Monitoring Program training course beginning in February.  The course consists of six full-day field trainings and two evening workshops, each led by Susan.  Three of the full day trainings will be held in Vermont. The class runs from February to October, 2010, and is expected to cost approximately $560 per student, plus travel and meals. Registrations are now being accepted. Please contact Paula at plc@plcnh.org or 603-487-3331 to learn more!  NOTE: On line registration is not available for this course!

Waterfowl Migration

Join PLC Executive Director Eric Masterson for a trip along the Merrimack in search of spring waterfowl. Late March is THE season for waterfowl in New Hampshire, as they stop off on our rivers, lakes, and cornfields to rest and refuel en route to northern breeding grounds. We will travel from New Boston to Manchester and south on Route 3A through Litchfield. With luck we might see up to fifteen species of geese and duck. Dress warmly, bring binoculars and boots for muddy walking. Carpool from PLC Office in New Boston.

Saturday, April 24th 9am - 12pm
Exploring Vernal Pools

Children are not only welcome – they’re encouraged! Please join us as we explore the mysteries and wonder of nature’s nurseries - vernal pools.

Dress warmly, but prepared to get wet! Wear boots and bring nets, buckets and magnifying glasses as they are important tools for our discovery efforts. We will have field guides available to borrow or purchase ($7). Every child must bring, and remember to keep track of, a supervising adult! Our exact destination will be determined as we get closer – vernal pools being highly weather dependant, directions will be sent out to all who pre-register. In order to preserve the integrity of the vernal pools, please no dogs.
