Today, the Something Wild team is at NH Audubon’s Silk Farm Wildlife Sanctuary in Concord, touring the pollinator meadow and the adjoining All Persons Trail. About two-thirds of a mile long, the trail winds through a pollinator meadow and grassland habitat, extending into the woods on the shores of Turkey Pond.

Each episode will delve into the unique features of these trails, highlighting adaptive infrastructure, innovative designs, and the essential role of community support in creating these welcoming spaces.

By the end of the event, 47 volunteers had contributed approximately 644 hours to trail improvements.

This seasonal abundance of fallen fruit is short-lived yet remains the MOST reliable location to obtain images of wildlife we would rarely get to see otherwise.  

The Forest Society teamed up with Town 4 Trails Services and OBP Trailworks to construct the sustainable trail, which took the place of about 1/3 mile of the existing Main/Blue Trail. 

This is Jim Cavallini's third time presenting artwork at the Forest Society.

“We had a ‘Goldilocks’ summer. Not too wet, not too dry, not too many insect outbreaks, and there's a lot of green leaves remaining on the trees at Labor Day weekend,” Dave Anderson says. “And all those leaves are going to change slowly over the next couple of weeks.”

This land conservation project was born out of a collaboration between The Conservation Fund (TCF) and Affordable Housing Education & Development (AHEAD), working in partnership to secure a new location for workforce housing in the North Country.
