Explore Tin Mountain's Albany property on a guided casual snowshoe tour and see what winter has in store! Interesting animal tracks, our resident birds, beautiful conifers, Chase Pond and unexpected sites await us. The terrain is variable and so is the weather... so dress for the day and enjoy the trails.
Bring your own snowshoes, or we have all sizes available. Snowshoes are free for members and $15pp for non-members (so consider becoming a member).
Walk-ins welcome
Who’s been here? Was it a fox, a bobcat, or even a fisher? Learn basic track patterns and enjoy a morning outside with your family during this snowshoe adventure at the Rockwell Sanctuary in Albany. Families of all ages are welcome and encouraged to attend. Dress warm & bring snowshoes or borrow ours.
Join us for a presentation on Great Gray Owl biology and ecology by Dr. James Duncan. Jim has been studying this “Phantom of the Northern Forest” for over four decades in Manitoba, Ontario, Minnesota and California. One of his most recent discoveries is how this owl overcomes an auditory illusion when hunting small mammals under thick snow.
Please Register for Zoom Link.
Who is awake in our woods when we are asleep? We will make crayon resist drawings of the night time animals who fill the wondrous dark world of our northern NH forests. Art can be messy so wear old clothes or bring a smock.
Ages 6-12. limit 12. Cost: $5/member, $15/non-member
The Beaver Believers is an award-winning feature documentary sharing the urgent yet whimsical story of an unlikely cadre of activists working to restore the North American beaver to the watersheds of the American West. As a keystone species, beaver enrich their ecosystems, creating the biodiversity, complexity, and resiliency our watersheds need to absorb the impacts of climate change. A favorite on the 2019 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, winner of the Green Spark Award at the American Conservation Film Festival, this film will inspire you to think differently about climate change.
We’re heading to the coast of Maine in search of Snowy, Short-eared, and Great-horned Owls along with overwintering songbirds, sea ducks and maybe a fun rarity or two. Join Will Broussard for an excursion to Scarborough Marsh in southern Maine to look for owls and other winter specialties. Make sure to bring warm layers, water, and a lunch. Bring your own binoculars or borrow ours. Weather date: February 1.
*Note, for those looking to caravan, meet at Tin Mountain at 8:30am
