Learn about Dragonflies on this Guided Walk


Did you know there are more species of dragonfly found in New Hampshire than in the whole state of California?

Land Steward Specialist Carrie Deegan from the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and Andy Deegan of the Ausbon Sargent Land Preservation Trust will lead an easy, short walk on Thursday, August 11 (rain date Friday, August 12) from 2 - 4 pm on the Forest Society’s Langenau Forest in Wilmot. Participants will learn how to identify the major families of dragonflies and damselflies while capturing and releasing them in the field. Children are welcome!

Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, email signup@forestsociety.org or call Tina at 603-224-9945 ext. 313.
