dirt road

Intense rains require careful road maintenance to reduce washouts and threats to surface water quality. Road maintenance contractor Russ Lanoie will discuss the basic principles behind maintaining gravel/dirt roads to provide better year-round service and present minimal non-point source pollution problems. This is a practical workshop that conveys techniques that are effective on all gravel/dirt roads. The indoor portion will be followed by a field exercise on Tin Mountain’s gravel parking lot and driveway.

If you live on a dirt road or have a dirt driveway, you don't want to miss this!

This program is free for all participants regardless of membership status thanks to the sponsorship of Alvin J. Coleman & Son.

Next Book Group Pick is:
Animal Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

When Barbara Kingsolver and her family moved from suburban Arizona to rural Appalachia, they took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally-produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Barbara considers our nation's lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production.

If you are interested in buying the book, copies are available at White Birch Books in North Conway.

Upcoming Books:

August: Animal Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
September: Golden Wings & Hairy Toes by Todd McLeish
October: Birding to Change the World by Trish O’Kane

Tin Mountain’s Environmental Group is sponsored in part by White Birch Books of North Conway
