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:
