Upcoming Events

This Growing Up WILD workshop is designed for educators and caretakers of children ages 3–7 who want to spark curiosity and wonder about the natural world. Through fun, hands-on activities and shared discussion, participants will explore ways to connect young children with nature through play, stories, art, music, and movement. 

From the forging earliest known local trade routes, to early American industry, to international conflicts, there are some unbelievable and totally true stories right in our own backyards. Come shake off winter blues with a refreshing hike full of great stories for the whole family! 

Identifying and interpreting wildlife tracks can greatly expand your understanding of what species are using your land, and how wildlife respond to your habitat management activities. Join Wildlife Conservation State Specialist Haley Andreozzi and Community Conservation State Specialist Emma Tutein from UNH Cooperative Extension as they guide you through fields, forests, and wetlands in search of winter wildlife tracks and signs. 

Register through the UNH Cooperative Extension site. 

This program will be hybrid - join us in person at The Rocks or online via Zoom.

Join Carl Martland as he shares his love of dragonflies with us. Go to a pond or a stream any sunny day in the summer and you will see dragonflies and damselflies.  Most will be colorful, and some will have astounding patterns or splashes of color on their bodies or their wings.

Creek Farm has long been a favorite local walk of the Seacoast’s dogs and their humans. Come walk and play together and hear about the companion animals that helped build our local history and culture!

New Hampshire Forests – Past, Present and Future

125 years of Protecting NH Landscapes and Landmarks

This is the story of the NH Landscape and Legacy. How has NH been shaped by the forethought and generosity of the people leading forest conservation and land protection success over the past century and a quarter – since 1901. Join us to consider how conservation of forests, wildlife habitats and recreation trails for future generations is core to identity of NH communities and economy.

New England is a special place – the fingerprints of both history and pre-history are impressed on the landscape. Join us for a thoughtful exploration of Creek Farm, where we learn to recognize how natural and human history intermingle at every turn.

In this presentation, Morgan and Chris will talk about the federally funded Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey program and what it means for New Hampshire and the nation. This is a pest detection program designed to help protect American agriculture and natural resources. You will learn which exotic pests were targeted for surveys for the 2025 season throughout New Hampshire and why we chose those locations (including The Rocks).
