Walk NH At Northwood School


The Wellness Committee at Northwood School invites all students, along with their parents, staff members and all Northwood Community members to walk together and participate in the Walk NH program on Tuesday June 2 from 2:15-3:00 at Northwood School.  Our goal is to help students and their families become more aware of the importance of exercise in daily living. Walking can be done by almost anyone, anywhere.  So let’s all get together and encourage our children to get on a healthy track and “get walking”.   No sign up is necessary, just show up with your walking shoes.  Parents do need to attend with their children.

Watershed Starts 2009 Season


Northwood Lake Watershed Association President, Jim Vaillancourt, outlined plans for the 2009 season at the May meeting.


June will be a busy month with the following activities: Saturday, June 13, there will be a session with Amy Smagula of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Sciences to instruct attendees on the Weed Watcher program. The training session will be held at the Boy Scout Camp. June 19 will be the season’s first neighborhood meeting of the Watershed Association. Also, a June event will be held to review the milfoil situation. We will locate areas with milfoil and determine the effect of last year’s milfoil treatment and this winter’s drawdown of the lake.


For more information on June events, visit the Watershed’s website. www.northwoodlake.com


Doug Chamberlin, Lake Host Coordinator, said the Lake Host Program can always use more volunteers. Lake Hosts inspect incoming and outgoing boats at the town launch for exotic weeds. To sign up for Lake Host Training go to [email protected]


The Spring newsletter will be sent to members soon.


The purpose of the Northwood Lake Watershed Association is “to preserve and protect the quality of Northwood Lake and its surroundings for the collective interest of lake users.” Help us by becoming a member.
Enjoy the lake this summer! www.northwoodlake.com.

 


 

Northwood Transfer Station/Recycling Center


Spring cleaning is in full swing and many residents will soon be clearing out items no longer needed or useful. When planning your trip to the transfer station, it helps to sort and separate items for recycling and disposal. A brochure which lists all the information about the transfer station is available at the town hall during regular business hours. There is also a list of items that are recycled and related fees on the town website: www.town.northwood.nh.us  You will also find directions to the facility, hours of operation, and rules and regulations. Admittance to the recycling center is by permit only, available at the Town Clerk’s office during her regular business hours. You will need to bring proof of residency with you.


With many people opening up their camps on the upcoming holiday weekend, it is easy to get ready for a trip to the transfer station on Monday and not remember that it is a holiday for everyone. The transfer station is closed on Monday, May 25 so that the employees may enjoy the holiday with their families. Please plan accordingly.


The recycling committee strives to improve waste management through recycling and other processes and welcomes any ideas and input from Northwood residents. The committee meets on the first Monday of the month at 7 pm at the town hall and meetings are open to the public.

 


 

Harvey Lake - Messabout


A Messabout is a gathering of small boat owners and their kayaks, canoes, dinghies, small sailboats and other small non-motorized craft. It’s a social and educational get-together, no special programs, no commercial selling/marketing, just regular folks and small boats enjoying the company and the crafts.


Join us, or pass the word to folks you know, for an afternoon of small boats. Every kind of craft, handcrafted, fiberglass, Kevlar(tm), or plastic are welcome. The location is a private residence  on the secluded, shallow/rocky end of 95 acre Harvey Lake, in Northwood, NH.


DATE: Saturday June 20, 2009. Noon - 5 PM. There is a gas grill so bring food and beverages and make it a potluck dinner with your new friends. A great place to swim and/or fish too.


Activities and organized get-togethers for small craft owners in  the central and coastal New Hampshire area have been few for many years. This is an opportunity to begin changing that.

 

DIRECTIONS: From RT 4 in Northwood, NH. turn south (right if heading east on RT 4) on to Harmony Road, one half mile east of Coe Brown School. If heading west on RT 4 (toward Concord) Harmony Road is about 3 blocks past the entrance to Northwood Meadows State Park. Location is #110 Harmony Rd, about ½ mile from the RT 4 intersection.
