SUMMARY:Dragons & Damsels of New Hampshire - Newfound Nature Series - July 22
DESCRIPTION:July 22\, 2025 \nDragons & Damsels of New Hampshire \nDr. Pam Hunt (NH Audubon) \nWelcome to the fascinating world of the insect order Odonata! You may be familiar with the dragonflies buzzing over your yard in the summer\, or the damselflies that land on your kayak\, but what do you REALLY know about these ancient insects? This program provides an overview of the biology and ecology of dragonflies and damselflies\, from their amazing life cycle (content alert: some pretty crazy reproductive behavior is involved!) to their incredible diversity. It also highlights a few of NH’s notable species and their stories\, and closes with some results from the “NH Dragonfly Survey\,” a five-year volunteer-based project that documented the distribution of these insects across the state. \nHeld on Tuesdays\, 7:00–8:15 pm\nJoin us for our Newfound Nature Series (the new name for our beloved Red Barn Speaker Series) on Tuesday evenings. The series is now held at Grey Rocks and co-hosted by the Newfound Lake Region Association (NLRA). Registration is not necessary – just come and join us for an evening’s entertainment! \nThank you to our season sponsors: John S. Jordan Design\, and the Hebron Conservation Commission.

SUMMARY:A Season in the Sun Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:A Season in the Sun: Photographs from the Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Garden by Walt Swist \nWalt Swist photos from the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens.\nTake a photographic journey with Walt Swist through the 2024 season in the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens! Experience the magical pollinator gardens in full bloom and the amazing bounty of the vegetable and herb gardens\, with side tours of the wedding garden\, the barn garden\, the bird-friendly gardens\, the memorial garden\, the rain garden\, the wildflower garden\, the garden for the senses\, and more. These gardens present opportunities for home and community gardeners to observe and learn best practices in a beautiful natural setting. \nAs an additional benefit\, we donate most of our fresh vegetables and herbs to the Families in Transition Food Pantry and Dining Services in Manchester. We also provide vegetables for our favorite Animal Ambassadors who reside at the Massabesic Center. In 2024 we harvested about 543 pounds of vegetables and herbs. \nSome of these photos are simple direct views of the harvest in the field\, with vegetables and herbs dutifully lining up to be weighed and counted. In other photos the vegetables\, herbs and flowers take center stage to tell their own unique stories\, often revealing whimsical individual personalities and sharing the secret joys of life of the garden. \nThis exhibit is a departure from our typical showroom gallery\, and will be displayed in our main hall\, which will be fully accessible during standard Massabesic Center hours Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 5pm. \nBio: Walt is a volunteer with the UNH Extension Master Gardener program and a resident of Manchester\, New Hampshire. He is also a NH Audubon volunteer in the demonstration gardens at the Massabesic Center in Auburn\, where he helps grow and harvest produce in the vegetable and herb gardens. He enjoys photographing the diversity and beauty of the natural world enhanced with an occasional dash of whimsical storytelling.

SUMMARY:Ode to the Birdhouse Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the McLane Center 7/2-8/23 to see the Ode to the Birdhouse series by Pam Tarbell. \n“I have always been fascinated with birds as I looked out the windows as a child. Now\, I watch the local bird population plus the migrating fowl and hawks\, which continues to fascinate me. \nAs an artist\, I listen to music while painting\, which helps to create movement in my art. I made the simple shape of a birdhouse\, several patterns of birds\, and then added leaves to create a complex overlapping of colorful designs. Several of my paintings became visual puzzles for the eye as birds are camouflaged in their environment.” \nExamples from the Ode to the Birdhouse exhibit\,\nBio: A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a United States Art Embassy Artist. Tarbell exhibits nationally\, and in 2023 had a solo exhibit at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. In 2024\, she was commissioned to paint the awards for the New Hampshire Committee for the Arts Gala Awards Celebration. She just concluded a solo exhibit at the Mass Audubon in Belmont\, MA. \nShe has served on numerous boards and committees advocating for the arts in New Hampshire. In 2015\, she received an “Outstanding Woman in Business Award” from NH Business Magazine\, as director of the Mill Brook Gallery & Sculpture Garden for twenty-two years. \nTarbell enjoys painting bright\, complicated compositions\, hoping that the viewer will always continue to find interesting elements in her paintings. \nHer gallery is open by appointment: 603-496-2014. You can visit her website to sign up for her newsletter.

In other photos the vegetables\, herbs and flowers take center stage to tell their own unique stories\, often revealing whimsical individual personalities and sharing the secret joys of life of the garden. \nThis exhibit is a departure from our typical showroom gallery\, and will be displayed in our main hall\, which will be fully accessible during standard Massabesic Center hours Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 5pm. \nBio: Walt is a volunteer with the UNH Extension Master Gardener program and a resident of Manchester\, New Hampshire. He is also a NH Audubon volunteer in the demonstration gardens at the Massabesic Center in Auburn\, where he helps grow and harvest produce in the vegetable and herb gardens. He enjoys photographing the diversity and beauty of the natural world enhanced with an occasional dash of whimsical storytelling.

SUMMARY:Ode to the Birdhouse Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the McLane Center 7/2-8/23 to see the Ode to the Birdhouse series by Pam Tarbell. A reception will be held on 7/17 from 5-7pm. \n“I have always been fascinated with birds as I looked out the windows as a child. Now\, I watch the local bird population plus the migrating fowl and hawks\, which continues to fascinate me. \nAs an artist\, I listen to music while painting\, which helps to create movement in my art. I made the simple shape of a birdhouse\, several patterns of birds\, and then added leaves to create a complex overlapping of colorful designs. Several of my paintings became visual puzzles for the eye as birds are camouflaged in their environment.” \nExamples from the Ode to the Birdhouse exhibit\,\nBio: A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a United States Art Embassy Artist. Tarbell exhibits nationally\, and in 2023 had a solo exhibit at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. In 2024\, she was commissioned to paint the awards for the New Hampshire Committee for the Arts Gala Awards Celebration. She just concluded a solo exhibit at the Mass Audubon in Belmont\, MA. \nShe has served on numerous boards and committees advocating for the arts in New Hampshire. In 2015\, she received an “Outstanding Woman in Business Award” from NH Business Magazine\, as director of the Mill Brook Gallery & Sculpture Garden for twenty-two years. \nTarbell enjoys painting bright\, complicated compositions\, hoping that the viewer will always continue to find interesting elements in her paintings. \nHer gallery is open by appointment: 603-496-2014.

SUMMARY:A Season in the Sun Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:A Season in the Sun: Photographs from the Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Garden by Walt Swist \nWalt Swist photos from the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens.\nTake a photographic journey with Walt Swist through the 2024 season in the NH Audubon Massabesic Center’s Demonstration Gardens! Experience the magical pollinator gardens in full bloom and the amazing bounty of the vegetable and herb gardens\, with side tours of the wedding garden\, the barn garden\, the bird-friendly gardens\, the memorial garden\, the rain garden\, the wildflower garden\, the garden for the senses\, and more. These gardens present opportunities for home and community gardeners to observe and learn best practices in a beautiful natural setting. \nAs an additional benefit\, we donate most of our fresh vegetables and herbs to the Families in Transition Food Pantry and Dining Services in Manchester. We also provide vegetables for our favorite Animal Ambassadors who reside at the Massabesic Center. In 2024 we harvested about 543 pounds of vegetables and herbs. \nSome of these photos are simple direct views of the harvest in the field\, with vegetables and herbs dutifully lining up to be weighed and counted. In other photos the vegetables\, herbs and flowers take center stage to tell their own unique stories\, often revealing whimsical individual personalities and sharing the secret joys of life of the garden. \nThis exhibit is a departure from our typical showroom gallery\, and will be displayed in our main hall\, which will be fully accessible during standard Massabesic Center hours Wednesdays to Saturdays from 11am to 5pm. Meet the artist during our Art Walk in the Garden event on July 12th. Walt will be talking about his work with guests in the main hall exhibit area between 10:30am and 12:30pm. \nBio: Walt is a volunteer with the UNH Extension Master Gardener program and a resident of Manchester\, New Hampshire. He is also a NH Audubon volunteer in the demonstration gardens at the Massabesic Center in Auburn\, where he helps grow and harvest produce in the vegetable and herb gardens. He enjoys photographing the diversity and beauty of the natural world enhanced with an occasional dash of whimsical storytelling.

SUMMARY:Ode to the Birdhouse Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Visit the McLane Center 7/2-8/23 to see the Ode to the Birdhouse series by Pam Tarbell. A reception will be held on 7/17 from 5-7pm. \n“I have always been fascinated with birds as I looked out the windows as a child. Now\, I watch the local bird population plus the migrating fowl and hawks\, which continues to fascinate me. \nAs an artist\, I listen to music while painting\, which helps to create movement in my art. I made the simple shape of a birdhouse\, several patterns of birds\, and then added leaves to create a complex overlapping of colorful designs. Several of my paintings became visual puzzles for the eye as birds are camouflaged in their environment.” \nExamples from the Ode to the Birdhouse exhibit\,\nBio: A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a United States Art Embassy Artist. Tarbell exhibits nationally\, and in 2023 had a solo exhibit at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. In 2024\, she was commissioned to paint the awards for the New Hampshire Committee for the Arts Gala Awards Celebration. She just concluded a solo exhibit at the Mass Audubon in Belmont\, MA. \nShe has served on numerous boards and committees advocating for the arts in New Hampshire. In 2015\, she received an “Outstanding Woman in Business Award” from NH Business Magazine\, as director of the Mill Brook Gallery & Sculpture Garden for twenty-two years. \nTarbell enjoys painting bright\, complicated compositions\, hoping that the viewer will always continue to find interesting elements in her paintings. \nHer gallery is open by appointment: 603-496-2014. You can visit her website to sign up for her newsletter.
