Upcoming Events

Environmental educator and park naturalist Jeff Wallner recently retired after 45 years in America's outdoors. He was SPNHF's first program coordinator at The Rocks and later statewide education director. He moved west to work in National Parks, an avocation that became a second career.

This program will be offered hybrid with a Zoom component.

Spend a day immersed in the beauty of spring at The Rocks with a special program celebrating wildflowers, woodland stewardship, and pollinators.

Join us for a hands-on, one-hour introduction to the art of fly tying.

Come join us for a fulfilling and fun hike for the whole family! Unplug and enjoy nature, play, learning, community, and movement in one of the most diverse natural landscapes in the area. 

Visit a forest demonstration area located around a very popular hiking trail on Mt Monadnock that has experienced several decades of continuous careful forest management to improve the residual stand of timber and recruit the next age class of forest.  Learn about past, present and future management and how forestry prescriptions have changed the forest while adding value: improving the forest health, resiliency, and timber value.   

The tidal Sagamore Creek is brimming with a multitude of little creatures, if we pause for a moment to look! Much enrichment will be available, from structured activities to free-form exploration, all on our shady, breezy shoreline. 

In this guided hike, explore trees, wildlife, and systems preserved within Powder Major’s Forest of Madbury, NH. While we’re out, we’ll engage in discussion of local conservation movements and ways to engage in the community!

Conservation is an umbrella that holds lots of different ideas. In this guided hike, we’ll learn about different reasons and results of conservation, all while enjoying what the Lamprey River Forest has to offer. 

Discover the hidden stories of wildlife in this engaging program that combines a guided outdoor walk with expert insight on identifying animal signs like tracks, scat, nests, and feeding evidence. You’ll also explore the ecology of fishers and learn practical tips for coexisting safely with black bears in New Hampshire.
