Winter Wildlife Hike
Saturday, February 25
9:00am – 11:00am
Camp Bell
159 Manning Lake Road
Gilmanton, NH

Join the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition (BRCC) and UNH
Cooperative Extension staff, Emma Carcagno and Andy Fast, for a winter
wildlife hike on Hidden Valley conservation land. As we enjoy the 2-hour
hike, we will look for wildlife sign and discuss habitat components and
function.
Because this program is outside and involves a hike, please bring boots,
water, and be prepared for winter weather conditions.
This program is Free. To register or for more information, call the Belknap
County UNH Cooperative Extension office at 603-527-5475. Registration is
required. If the program is cancelled due to weather, notification will be
posted on the BRCC website:

.....or if coming from Alton Village....follow Rt. 140 to just past the Gilmanton Iron Works Store and take a right on Crystal lake Road. Take a left at the fork. Follow up past Crystal Lake (will be on your right) and Crystal Lake Road becomes Guinea Ridge Road. Eventually you'll see Manning Lake on your right. At the end of Manning Lake take a right on Manning Lake Road. Camp Bell is at the end of the road.
