Explore Tin Mountain's beautiful Albany property with Outreach Coordinator, Heather McKendry. As we welcome summer, the trails are absolutely teaming with life. Both flora and fauna have entered their "high season", so whether we venture to Chase Pond, the 1800s quarry, 14 acres of native Mountain Laurel or walk around the Accessible Nature trail extended loop - the property has treasures around every bend.
The walk is approximately 2 miles and includes uneven terrain; please plan accordingly, dress for the weather and meet on the Nature Learning Center porch.
$15 per person/$25 per household and $5 for TMCC members
Pre-registration is welcomed, but not required.
The Ossipee Pine Barrens is the largest remaining pine barrens ecosystem in New Hampshire. Considered globally rare, pine barrens are home to a variety of unique wildlife and depend on repeated fire for their maintenance and regeneration. Come explore the Ossipee Pine Barrens Preserve with Jeff Lougee, the Director of Land Management at The Nature Conservancy, and learn about the work TNC is doing to maintain this unique ecosystem using prescribed fire and other approaches. This will be an easy 1.5-mile hike along accessible trails and woods roads.

Join us for our August book group, where we will be discussing The Big Burn by Timothy Egan. A dramatic account of the worst forest fire in American history. No living person had ever seen a fire with the ferocity, speed, and destructive power of the Big Burn of 1910. Equally dramatic is the larger story of Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot, and the creation myth of the U.S. Forest Service.
We will be meeting in person at the Nature Learning Center in Albany. However, there is also a Zoom link option for those unable to join in person. Please register for the 'virtual' option for the link.

Bring a blanket and enjoy nature’s fireworks! The shooting stars of August’s Perseid meteor shower will be on display and best viewed in large open areas. Tin Mountain’s Matt Maloney will point out constellations and explain the annual phenomenon as we wait for the meteors to be visible.
