Active Outdoor   

The Lamprey River is a hidden gem on the NH Seacoast. It is no accident that the river has a largely undeveloped landscape offering outstanding ecological variety, significant archaeological and historic resources, and is home to one of the best river herring runs on the East Coast. In Session 1, participants will learn how a proposed hydroelectric facility energized local residents to seek protection through the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and what subsequent Wild and Scenic designation has meant for the river and its communities. Session 2 will allow participants to visit significant sites and see this special river up close.

Join us for a walk around this hidden gem of the Seacoast, home to fox, deer, osprey, kestrel, and an occasional bald eagle. We will walk the William Furber Ferry Way Trail (2 miles) and, if time permits, the Peverly Pond Trail (1/2 mile). Both trails are graded and include gentle inclines. Wear good walking shoes (no sandals or flip-flops), long pants (there may be ticks) and a hat. Cameras, binoculars and walking sticks are optional. No dogs allowed.

Did you know the town of Hampstead, NH, has an extensive trail system, approximately 43 total miles, that was started back in the 1970's? Join us as we explore a 3 to 5 mile section of these trails. The length of the hike will be dependent upon the participants and how far they wish to go. The trails are studded with rocks and roots, and have some short, fairly steep inclines so be sure to wear sturdy shoes. Don't forget water and your bug spray as mosquitoes and ticks are always around.

If you've driven US Route 4 between Durham and Dover you've been by Wagon Hill Farm. Come join us for a walk by the water, through the woods, through the bob-o-link breeding grounds and ending at the Monarch Butterfly habitat. Wear long pants (this will be tick season) and sturdy shoes (no sandals or flip-flops). Hats, water bottles, and cameras are encouraged. Not recommended for people who have difficulty walking.
