The Forest Society and the Deering Conservation Commission are sponsoring this walk through the meadows of the Tom Rush Forest in Deering, NH. This year there have been a large number of monarch butterflies in these meadows, and with the help of local naturalists, we hope to see several phases of this fascinating insect's life cycle in person! You will learn about monarch biology and conservation, and about a local threat to NH's monarchs: invasive black swallow-wort vine. Black swallow-wort has been identified on the Tom Rush Forest and you will get a chance to see this plant and learn
A collection of photographs, "Fauna of the Galapagos," by Godfrey (Jeff) Sluder are on display at the Forest Society's Conservation Center in Concord until the end of August 2019.
