CONCORD, NH – Sign up for a hands-on course that explores New Hampshire’s ecosystems – how trees, plants, soil, fungi, water, wildlife, and even humans are interconnected, and how we can reduce our impact and restore and protect the natural world of which we are a part.
The course begins on Friday, September 6 and runs weekly through November 22, 2019 at the Canterbury Shaker Village. Full-day sessions are held from 8:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. The cost of the program is $295, of which $100 is reimbursable when 40 hours of volunteer work has been completed in the first year. Scholarships are available.
Apply today at www.nhstewards.org.
Graduates volunteer throughout the state, stewarding for New Hampshire’s precious resources in a variety of conservation projects including as Wonders of Wildlife docents through the NH Fish and Game Department.
The Natural Resources Steward Program offers a comprehensive education and volunteer support network for people who want to learn, explore, and share the nature of New Hampshire.
The 2019 Natural Resources Stewards Program is sponsored by UNH Cooperative Extension and the NH Division of Forests and Lands, in partnership with NH Fish and Game and its Wonders of Wildlife Program and Watershed Education Program, Canterbury Shaker Village, and the U.S. Forest Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service, and County Conservation Districts.
