SUMMARY:NestWatch Volunteer Training: Eastern Bluebird and Tree Swallow Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Learn about and get involved in a participatory science project to monitor field-nesting birds at NH Audubon’s Massabesic Center! \nThis workshop will teach you how to collect conservation data as a NestWatch Monitor. You’ll learn detailed identification skills for bird species and nests most often encountered in the nesting boxes at Massabesic\, including Eastern Bluebirds\, Tree Swallows\, Black-capped Chickadees\, and House Wrens. We’ll review predator and disease control methods\, invasive species mitigation\, and information about nest protections afforded by migratory bird laws. We’ll touch on terminology and general life history information\, and we’ll celebrate the sanctuary’s nesting success with a summary review of this 25-year long project. NH Audubon Massabesic Center is home to almost 80 monitored nest boxes; can you guess how many Tree Swallow fledglings have taken flight at Massabesic over the last twenty years? \nWe will begin in the classroom at 9am for a 2.5-hour presentation\, with a short break for snacks (bring your own snacks or lunch and water). After the break\, we’ll head outside to learn the trails and nest box locations\, clean out residual nest materials from last year\, and practice field identification of early season birds. \nIf you’d like to join our volunteer team after learning what it takes\, we’ll collect your information and start you down the path to becoming a NestWatch Monitor with NH Audubon. Attendees are not required to become volunteers; you can learn the process and take your new skills with you anywhere! Space in the volunteer program is limited\, so we cannot guarantee every attendee a spot in our program. \nThis adult-focused presentation is required for all new NestWatch Monitor volunteers at the Massabesic Center. Minors who wish to become volunteers must be accompanied by trained adults to ensure robust data collection. Established volunteers are welcome to enjoy a refresher but are not required to repeat the training course. \nNestWatch Monitors are expected to contribute one to two hours each week from May to August to record data in their designated zones. \nPresenters: \nBob Krewson\, NH Audubon Bluebird Monitor Volunteer Leader \nKimmie Whiteman\, Massabesic Center Director \nBob Krewson\, along with Logan Young\, 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: This program is free to attend. If you feel inspired to support New Hampshire Audubon’s work\, please consider a gift to our Annual Fund at nhaudubon.org/donate. Your contribution supports priorities like environmental education for people of all ages across NH\, stewardship of nearly 10\,000 acres of conserved habitat\, science-based environmental policy and advocacy\, and statewide conservation research and wildlife monitoring. \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 9\, 2026. If you miss the registration deadline\, please email Kimmie Whiteman to inquire about availability. Walk-ins will be accepted if space allows\, but late registrants may miss pre-workshop or cancellation communications. Limit 50 attendees. \nDress for the weather and be prepared to walk up to one mile over mostly flat\, but uneven gravel and grassy terrain. Long sleeves\, pants\, bug spray and sunscreen are strongly recommended. The outdoor portion of this course will be postponed in the event of severe weather. Participants who do not wish to become volunteer monitors are not required to attend the outdoor portion of this class.

SUMMARY:Party Animals Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Party Animals by Bethany Clarke \nThis exhibit runs at the McLane Center in Concord from March 11-May 2\, 2026. \nDescription: Handprinted linocuts featuring an array of native New Hampshire plants and animals. The images are all initially sketched by hand and then transferred onto linoleum blocks. They are then carved with a blade. For printing\, the blocks are rolled with ink\, and paper is pressed onto them with a barren and body weight. When pulled up\, the paper includes a reverse image of the block. All prints have natural variances in tone due to human touch\, which is what makes them special. \n \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended. \nBio: Bethany is a public school teacher and linocut printmaker living in Concord. Her prints feature a whimsical array of plants and animals native to New Hampshire. In addition to printing on paper\, she upcycles thrifted clothing with hand-printed patches and scrap quilted appliqué pieces. Her studio is in her basement\, where her two cats like to assist in the creative process.

SUMMARY:The Wildlife and Landscape of New England Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Wildlife and Landscape of New England by Jason Davini \nThis exhibit runs at the Massabesic Center in Auburn from March 5-April 29\, 2026. \nDescription: This show will feature the landscapes and animals that Jason has come across over the decades of his picture-taking. From Sunrises at the beaches and mountains\, to the smallest animals\, Jason has almost seen it all. Each picture was taken by Jason\, after countless hours of waiting for the perfect moment. \nExamples of Jason’s photography. (Click to enlarge.)\nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended. \nBio: Jason is a Manchester native\, but he often leaves the city to venture into the wild to pursue his passion. Jason’s specialty is photographing native wildlife\, plants\, and scenery\, often spending countless hours patiently waiting for the moment when perfect light arrives\, or his wary subject finally presents itself. And when the subject and light arrive at the same time\, Jason’s eye for his art comes alive. With an eye for detail and beauty often gone unseen by others\, Jason is able to capture a moment frozen in time and space – a most magical moment for all to enjoy. Jason specializes in nature photography but is also available for events or photo shoots of your choosing. \nJason Davini’s Photography: 603.660.4977; Jason.pinkfloydfan@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Build-a-Birdhouse
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the return of our nesting bird species at the Massabesic Center and Wildlife Sanctuary by joining us for a fun-filled experience crafting your very own birdhouse! \nGet hands on with power drills and rough pine boards in a safe family-friendly environment. Learn basic carpentry skills as you assemble pre-cut and pre-drilled kits suitable for a variety of species\, including Eastern Bluebirds\, Tree Swallows\, Black-capped Chickadees\, and House Wrens. \nYou’ll learn how to attract these species to your backyard and how to promote successful nesting. We’ll teach you how to build and install the boxes\, how to protect against predators and pests\, and how to provide the best habitat for your preferred bird species. We’ll also provide resources\, including up-close nest examples\, to help you identify the birds that take up residence in your new birdhouse. \nThis hands-on activity will take place primarily indoors in our historic Broad Barn\, located a few steps down the trail from the Massabesic Center’s main entrance. Sign in and receive your kit at the registration table at the main entrance. We’ll direct you to the activity based on your timeslot registration. \nDress for the weather\, as the barn is not temperature controlled. Accommodations for persons with limited mobility\, sensory concerns\, or other accessibility needs can be provided if you contact Massabesic Center Director Kimmie Whiteman. The barn entrance has two steps that limit wheelchair access into the main space\, but modified workstations can be provided upon request (please provide one week’s notice). \nThere are 60 birdhouse kits available this year. Limit 1 birdhouse per family or residence. Walk-ins will be permitted as space allows\, with birdhouses available only if supplies last. \nTime slots for building experiences have been created to help manage construction station space limitations. Please select a timeslot below for your group’s birdhouse construction experience. Each family or residence should RSVP for only 1 ticket. RSVP Required by April 9\, 2026. \nShort\, informal bird hikes will take place throughout the afternoon\, if the weather allows. As interested groups form\, Volunteer Joe Mahoney will lead 20-minute walks on the All Persons Trail in hopes of seeing Eastern Bluebirds and early migrants newly arrived from their spring migration display courtship and nesting behavior in the Massabesic Center’s hayfield and gardens. You’ll witness the sanctuary’s network of over 80 nest boxes in action! By attending this event\, you and anyone you register on behalf of agree to NH Audubon’s Outdoor Education Program Liability Release & Agreement Waiver. \nThe Nature Lab\, Nature Shop\, Art Exhibit\, gardens and trails will be open to all visitors throughout the event!
