SUMMARY:NestWatch Volunteer Training: Bluebird Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Learn about and get involved in a community science project to monitor field-nesting birds at NH Audubon’s Massabesic Center! This workshop focuses on Eastern Bluebirds and Tree Swallows and will teach you identification\, natural history\, conservation status and how to collect data as a NestWatch Monitor. \nWe will begin in the classroom at 10am with a break for lunch (please bring your own lunch and water). After lunch\, we’ll head outside for the last hour to learn the trails and nest box locations\, clean out residual nest materials from last year\, and practice field identification of early season birds. \nNH Audubon Massabesic Center is home to almost 80 monitored nest boxes. NestWatch Monitors are expected to contribute one to two hours each week from April to August to record data in their designated sections. \nWorkshop participants are not required to become NestWatch Monitors; you can learn the process and take your new skills with you anywhere! \nPresenters: \n\nLogan Young\, NH Audubon Massabesic Center NestWatch Chapter Coordinator\nBob Krewson\, NH Audubon Bluebird Monitor Volunteer Leader\n\nLogan and Bob were awarded the 2024 John Thalheimer Volunteer Award for their dedication to this project. The knowledge they share during this workshop builds from over a decade of research gathered under their leadership. \nCost: \n\nFree! Donations welcome to support our NestWatch program  (select “Massabesic NestWatch Program” from the Gift Designation menu).\n\nSupport our programs and join or renew your membership today! Not sure of your membership status? Email our member services department or call (603) 224-9909 x310. \nRegistration Required by April 3\, 2025. \nIndoor presentation will take place indoors\, rain or shine. Outdoor portion will take place unless there is severe weather. Weather notifications will be made via email the day before.

SUMMARY:Simply Nature Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:‘Simply Nature’ is an exhibit of a relatively small portion of Pierre Garand’s catalog of Nature photographs. For nearly sixty years\, Pierre’s primary photographic subject has been Nature. He considers Her to be the artist\, and he a mere agent\, exploring\, discovering\, recording and presenting Her masterworks. This exhibit comprises a tiny taste of Nature’s diversity\, beauty\, and even a little whimsy: Her landscapes\, flora\, fauna and the elements that support them. In most cases\, Pierre brings the viewer as close to the subject as he physically or optically can\, presenting them with a perspective or in a unique moment that the viewer may not otherwise experience. (All but one of these images were captured in New Hampshire at or near Pierre’s home just inland of the New Hampshire Seacoast region. None of the images are AI generated.) \nBarred Owl photographed by Pierra Garand.\n  \nBio: Pierre Garand has been making photographs\, drawing with light for nearly sixty years. With occasional diversions\, his primary subject has been the Natural World\, usually as close-up as he physically or optically can get. He considers Mother Nature to be an artist who challenges him to discover\, record and share Her amazing works. With the rising evidence of climate change in recent years\, he’s come to consider his photographs a record\, a visual history of a major transition in Nature. He continues to keep his eyes and ears open to the world around him for the chance to record Nature’s art\, whether already formed or in process – a stone with natural markings that look like a face\, or a pollinator busy feeding on a Goldenrod in full bloom. He takes every opportunity he can to share his photographs with the public\, in the hope of providing a revealing\, inspiring or entertaining glimpse into the Nature all around us. \n  \n30% of the proceeds from this exhibit will benefit New Hampshire Audubon. \n(Art exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended.)

SUMMARY:Build-a-Birdhouse
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the return of our nesting bird species at the Massabesic Center and Wildlife Sanctuary! Join our expert NestWatch Monitors for a fun-filled family experience crafting your very own bird house! \nGet hands on with woodworking tools and power drills in a safe environment. Our team will be set up in the Massabesic Center’s Barn\, with two types of pre-cut and pre-drilled kits\, suitable for bluebird or house wren nest boxes. \nYou’ll learn how to attract Eastern Bluebirds or House Wrens to your backyard\, through discussions of installation placement guidelines and habitat requirements needed to generate ideal conditions for these two bird species. We’ll share resources for attracting other species to your yards\, too! \nThis program will take place indoors in our historic Broad Barn\, located a few steps down the trail from our main entrance. Dress for the weather\, as the barn is not temperature controlled. While the barn entrance has two steps that prevent wheelchair or stroller access into the main space\, modified workstations in the main building can be provided with advanced notice. \nThe main center will be open to provide access to our Nature Lab\, Nature Shop\, and the Nature’s Gallery art exhibit\, produced by Manchester Artists Association. Bathrooms and drinking fountains are available. The main building is wheelchair accessible\, but assistance may be required for some interior doors or to reach some artifacts. Bring a friend or ask our staff; we are eager to help you have an enjoyable experience! \nThe gardens and trails will also be open to explore. \nParking is available in the primarily dirt lot directly in front of the center. \nRSVP (one per family) Required by April 3\, 2025 if you want to construct a birdhouse. Walk-ins who wish to enjoy the atmosphere or ask birdy questions are welcome. The program is free with a suggested donation of $10 to support our NestWatch program (select “Massabesic NestWatch Program” from the Gift Designation menu). Limit to one birdhouse per family. \nFor accommodation requests\, contact Kimmie Whiteman\, Massabesic Center Director. \nCover image by Dee Cleary.
