Letter


My name is Robert Correa, and I have been a Boy Scout since first grade, and currently I am working for the highest honor in Scouting, The Eagle. I have been working toward this goal for many years, but it culminates upon completion of an Eagle Scout Project. The Project I am hoping to complete is to Build a Path on the overgrown property belonging to Our Lady of Lourdes/St. Joseph Parish. As part of the project, I need to raise money that will go towards buying the materials.


There will be a Spaghetti Dinner on Saturday, May 16, 2009, from 4-8 PM at The Parish Center on Route 4. The price is $5.00 per person, $20.00 per family. Come and have a great meal, enjoy friends and family, and Help me with this project.


Sincerely,
Robert M. Correa
Life Scout

 


 

Northwood School Celebrates Walk NH Week 2009


On June 1 -7, the Northwood School will celebrate Walk NH Week 2009 with a 1 mile walk at Northwood School. The Northwood School will join other groups from throughout New Hampshire in recognizing Walk NH Week 2009 by holding a community walk during the first week of June.


Walk NH Week is an event designed to encourage people of all ages to get out, get moving and   participate in a one to three mile community walk.  Governor John Lynch has proclaimed June 1-7 Walk NH Week as a way to promote walking and help keep New Hampshire residents on a healthy path.  The goal of Walk NH Week is to inspire participants to continue walking as part of a healthy lifestyle long after the June events end.


The Northwood School teachers will be taking their students on this one mile walk during school at least one time during the week.  Volunteers are welcome to help participate in this easy walk that promises to be some healthy fun.  Students will also participate in the walk on Wednesday, June 3rd with their field day team. 


A 1 mile community walk will take place rain or shine on Tuesday, June 2nd from 2:15 pm – 3 pm.  Parents, community members, students and staff are encouraged to attend this walk at Northwood School.  Please bring your own water bottle and dress appropriately. 


For more information, contact Nurse Shelley at 603-942-5488.  Also visit Walk NH’s website at www.WalkNH.org for more details about this walk and the Walk NH program.

 


 

NALMC Announces Northwood Meadows Discovery Day – July 11, 2009


By Carl Wallman, NALMC Chairman
The Northwood Meadows Discovery Day - - a celebration of the 20th Anniversary of Northwood Meadows State Park, and of the legacy left to present and future generations by M. Edward Burtt when he sold this  park to the State - will take place July 11, at the Park.  This grand event is an opportunity to discover and interact with the natural and cultural resources in and around Northwood Meadows State Park - lands which now form the core of the NALMC neighborhood. The day will be hosted by the Town of Northwood, in partnership with The Northwood Area Land Management Collaborative (NALMC), the Northwood Crankpullers and the NH Division of Resources and Economic Development.


The Discovery Day celebration is the latest in a series of landowner outreach initiatives since NALMC’s inception in 2006.  This informal organization was founded by Jim Oehler of NH Fish and Game, Matt Tarr of NH Cooperative Extension and me, in an effort to explore the possibilities of abutting neighbors “looking beyond our stone walls” before making management decisions that would affect the entire ecosystem. “Our goal is to work together across property boundaries to maintain and enhance the resources of the local landscape,” says Oehler. Currently, the NALMC neighborhood encompasses 3,034 acres of public and private lands. The NALMC area map can be seen on our website at www.nalmc.net.


NALMC spent the first two years putting our ideas into a workable framework, creating a representative steering committee, and holding public meetings. We were trying to communicate the value of “ecosystem-based management.” This is a difficult concept to explain. However, we were delighted to discover that when we created a five-mile hiking trail, and sponsored events like informal potluck get-togethers around maple sugaring, hiking, and fire ecology (see the Projects and Neighborhood News web pages at www.nalmc.net), these communal activities showed – better than words could – the benefits of “working together across our stone walls.” A community garden, conceived several years ago by Master Gardeners Linda Smith and Ted White, is a new project also located in the NALMC neighborhood. Volunteers tend the garden to provide fresh produce for the elderly and families in need throughout the local community.


In January of 2009, NALMC received a $20,000 grant from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Otto Fund, with Bear-Paw Regional Greenways acting as our fiscal agent. This generous grant has served as a lift-off for NALMC to get our message out to our neighbors. The grant is divided into two parts. The first is an ecological assessment of the NALMC neighborhood which will be conducted by Ellen Snyder, of Ibis Wildlife Consulting. “The ecological assessment will describe the soils, wetlands and waters, habitats, plants and animals, trails, and other resources of the NALMC neighborhood in text and through maps … providing a common understanding of the resource value of the region…An important goal,” she said, “is to express scientific information…that is clear, easily understood, builds awareness, and inspires action.”

 

The other part of the grant has allowed us to retain an outreach coordinator to put together all this information and present it to NALMC and the town.  We were fortunate to retain the services of Maryalice Fischer, who is promoting the NALMC vision in the community and organizing the Discovery Day with a team of local volunteers and NALMC partners.


So join us on July 11th to explore different ways the wonders of the natural world can be accessed in our backyards, and how much we can achieve together when neighbors talk to neighbors. “Your efforts with NALMC have given me a new source of hope for conservation,” said Dan Sperduto, NH Natural Heritage Bureau. “I think a lot of good can come from an approach that starts with people, helps to connect them, and builds community. The common land around them pulls it all together… from there, hopefully it will open the doors for people to listen to one another, share information, understand the land around them, and be better stewards in the end.”


For more information about NALMC or Northwood Meadows Discovery Day, contact Maryalice Fischer at 664-5097, or Carl Wallman at 435-5209.
