List of Programs & Events

The Mount Washington Avalanche Center plays an important role in protecting those who recreate in the White Mountain National Forest winter backcountry by providing daily avalanche forecasts. The unpredictable weather patterns, steep terrain, and varying snowpack conditions can create significant avalanche risk, making accurate, timely information essential for safe decision-making. Join MWAC's Director, Jeff Fongemie, to learn how the organization's daily avalanche forecasts, search and rescue operations, and ongoing efforts help protect the backcountry community.

THE MORNING SESSION IS FULL, BUT THERE IS STILL SPACE IN THE 1-3PM SESSION.

Create your own balsam wreath with Executive Director, Lori Jean Kinsey. A variety of natural garnishes including milkweed pods, spruce, and pine cones will be used to decorate the wreaths.
Choose between the morning (FULL) or afternoon (1-3pm) session.
Materials fee: $30/member, $40/non-member.

If you're interested in volunteering at Tin Mountain, please join us for our monthly Volunteer Morning Coffee Break! We meeting at 9:00 AM on the first Monday of the month. Join like-minded individuals and TMCC volunteers - experienced and new - for coffee and a tasty treat. Stay and help with projects for the day. Projects vary depending on the season and what's needed. You decide what you'd like to do to help from addressing envelopes to stacking firewood - there's always something to do and we appreciate your help.

No need to register.

Join veteran wildlife biologist Eric Orff, who has lived a life on the wild side in New Hampshire, for a book launch of What’s Wild: A Half-Century of Wisdom from the Woods and Rivers of New England. From saving thousands of mother bats from certain death by poison, to riding a ten-point whitetail buck, when the "tranquilized" deer lurched to his feet with Eric astride as it thundered downhill at warp speed in the dark of the night. Holding on for DEER life had a whole other meaning!

More than four dozen stories are featured in What's Wild, his first book. Written during his five-decade career as a wildlife biologist in New Hampshire, these wonderful tales of fish and wildlife represent a lifetime filled with adventures in the Wild.

Winter presents a big challenge in tree identification - the diagnostic leaves have been shed leaving you with nothing more than bark and branches. Not to worry! Nancy Ritger and Tin Mountain Conservation Center will take participants through the unique characteristics and identifiers of the region’s trees, including twig characteristics, branch arrangement, and bark; this program is appropriate for all levels. We hope you join us! Dress for the weather and bring water & a snack.

Eat delicious pizza and support Tin Mountain – it’s a win-win! Here’s how it works – visit Flatbread on Tuesday 12/10 and a portion of all pizza sales will be donated to Tin Mountain. Members of Tin Mountain’s staff and board will be on site if you’d like to visit!

Brush up on your winter bird identification with a review of local winter bird field marks as well as pass on a few bird feeding tips for the winter season ahead. This program is a great refresher for the fast approaching Christmas Bird Count.

Join us for the 36th Annual North Conway Christmas Bird Count. Observers are needed for traveling routes by foot, cross country skis, snowshoes, or by car. You can also tally birds at your feeder. All birding levels welcome!
