SUMMARY:Backyard and Beyond in Watercolor Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Backyard and Beyond in Watercolor Exhibit by Elaine Packard: May 6-July 2 at the McLane Center in Concord \nArt exhibit viewing access may be restricted during private event rentals. Calling ahead to confirm is recommended. \n  \nExhibit Description: Backyard birds\, flowers\, insects\, and animals have been the inspiration for my watercolor journey. While I am fairly new to this medium\, I don’t need to look very far for subject matter! Waterfowl and owls are favorites of mine as well\, with their varied colors and textures. \nI also enjoy the beauty of New England and like to take pictures of landscapes\, mountains\, lakes\, and local landmarks to use as reference photos. A late summer (first-time) trip to the top of Mt. Washington last year via the Cog Railway was truly stunning and I plan to create a few more paintings with the incredible clouds\, and distant mountain ranges. \nThank you for supporting the NH Audubon Society and I hope you enjoy my paintings and get a sense of the beautiful part of the country we live in! \nExamples of Elaine’s art. (Click to enlarge.)\nBio: From a young age\, I found happiness in quiet little things; flowers\, birds\, animals and scenery and I have integrated them into my artwork. I took many art classes in my high school years and received an Art Scholarship to Rivier College (which wasn’t utilized). Later in life\, time constraints of a full-time career and raising a family meant something needed to take the back seat. Life changes in recent years have allowed me the time to return to painting\, which I am enjoying immensely! \nI believe that continuous learning and being curious helps keep you young and I am currently discovering the beautiful subtleties and technical aspects of watercolor painting. I enjoy this medium very much\, although I must admit; there have been some struggles along the way. \nI tend to work towards realism\, studying the little details of my subjects\, moss on a tree branch or the anatomy of a birds’ wings. While birds and animals are some of my favorite subjects\, seascapes and landscapes are a good challenge and learning opportunity.\nOne of my goals was achieved last year; to show my work in a gallery. This was an accomplishment for me personally. The growth from that experience will remain with me for a long time. Meeting art enthusiasts\, collectors\, and other artists is something I enjoyed and am eager to continue. \nMy hope is that you find a sense of peace and calmness in my artwork and allow your mind to slow down\, notice the small things and enjoy nature\, because that is what I feel when I am creating.

SUMMARY:The Return of the Oystercatcher: Saving Birds to Save the Planet program with the Seacoast Chapter
DESCRIPTION:The Return of the Oystercatcher: Saving Birds to Save the Planet – Wednesday\, July 8 \nAt a time when the news for birds (for the planet!) has rarely seemed more grim\, there is reason for hope. Despite the odds today\, all around the world people are actually reviving bird populations\, providing a roadmap for wider recovery. In his newest book\, The Return of the Oystercatcher\, best-selling author and researcher Scott Weidensaul shows why creating a world that works for birds will work for everything\, including us. He’ll trace this inspiring arc from a tiny island off the Maine coast to the bird-rich Danube Delta on the Ukrainian border\, and vulture restoration in the mountains of Bulgaria to across the world’s largest and most intact forest in Canada where Indigenous communities are permanently protecting hundreds of millions of acres of some of the most important migratory bird habitat on Earth. This is a dose of optimism we all need. \nBio: Scott Weidensaul is the author of nearly 30 books on natural history\, including the Pulitzer Prize finalist Living on the Wind and his New York Times bestseller A World on the Wing. His latest book\, Return of the Oystercatcher coming in April 2026\, showcases what’s working for bird conservation around the world. Weidensaul is a contributing editor for Audubon magazine\, a columnist for Bird Watcher’s Digest\, and writes for a variety of other publications including the Cornell Ornithology Laboratory’s Living Bird publication. He is a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society and an active field researcher\, studying Saw-whet Owl migration for 30 years\, as well as winter hummingbirds in the East\, bird migration in Alaska\, and the winter movements of Snowy Owls through Project SNOWstorm\, which he co-founded. \nContact: Dan Hubbard\, 603 978-0218\, danielhubbard@peoplepc.com

SUMMARY:NH Audubon Third Quarter Book Club Meeting - Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2026 third quarter NH Audubon book club book discussion via Zoom of Forest Euphoria. In this national bestseller published in 2025\, author Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian shows us the making of a scientist and introduces readers to the queerness of all the life around us. A child who frequently felt out of place\, too much of one thing or not enough of another\, she found acceptance in these settings\, among other amphibious beings. In snakes\, snails\, and\, above all\, fungi\, she saw her own developing identities as a queer\, neurodivergent person reflected back at her—and in them\, too\, she found a personal path to a life of science. The meeting\, facilitated by Community Outreach Coordinator Anita Fernandez\, will focus on themes\, reactions\, and takeaways from this book. \nPurchase this title through NH Audubon’s Nature Stores (at the Massabesic or McLane Center) and mention the book club to receive a 10% discount. If you purchase all four 2026 book club books\, you will receive an even larger discount. You can also purchase this title online at https://nh-audubon-nature-store.myshopify.com/products/forest-euphoria. \nThe other book club books and their meeting dates are as follows: \n\nMarch 12\, 2026 – Everyone’s Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds by Duncan Watson\nMay 14\, 2026 – The Feather Detective: Mystery\, Mayhem\, and the Magnificent Life of Roxie Laybourne by Chris Sweeney\nNovember 12\, 2026 – Rebugging the Planet: The Remarkable Things that Insects (and Other Invertebrates) Do And Why We Need to Love Them More by Vicki Hird\n\nPlease RSVP below and you will receive the Zoom link and a list of discussion questions before the meeting.

SUMMARY:The Art of Pressed Flowers and Dried Botanicals
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this exciting new workshop where we will explore the art of flower pressing\, drying\, and decorative uses as well as botanical growing tips. This class is perfect for both new and experienced crafters\, gardeners\, decorators\, and everyone in between. \nThe use of recyclable and compostable materials when crafting has ecological benefits for reducing plastic waste and carbon emissions\, especially when materials are collected locally and sustainably to help preserve wildlife habitat. We’ll connect with nature while learning a fun new skill! \nLearn the basics of flower pressing to preserve treasured botanicals from your garden. Methods of flower pressing will be shared where you will learn which flowers are easy to press and which are not\, and how to prepare them for pressing. Example uses of pressed flowers will be displayed\, and resources for additional tips on pressing botanicals will be shared. Interested in making your own press? See an example along with a list of materials for an easy DIY project that will get you hooked on botanical pressing in no time! \nAfter we talk about pressing\, we will dive into discussing how dried flowers\, leaves\, seedpods and more can be useful in arrangements and crafts of all kinds. We’ll also discuss how to grow the best native and pollinator-friendly flowers for preservation\, wildlife-friendly tips for sustainable harvesting\, and eco-friendly methods that will help botanicals last for years. We’ll explore how these materials can be used in everything from spring displays to holiday wreaths. \nNote; we will not be crafting during this class. Expect to take home resources to help put your new knowledge into practice. \nPresenters:\nUNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener Doris Buco\nUNH Extension Master Gardener Patti Elwell\nDoris and Patti are NH Audubon Massabesic Center garden volunteers and contribute their designs and dried flowers to the annual holiday wreath program. Their wealth of experience\, down to earth kindness\, and dedication to NH Audubon’s mission are sure to make this class an exceptionally fun and informative event. \nLogistics:\nThis lecture-style presentation will take place indoors\, in the main conference room at the Massabesic Center. \nDress for the weather for the short\, easy walk from the dirt parking lot to the building\, and for optional outdoor exploration of the gardens.

SUMMARY:Seed Saving of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Discover the best practices for wild seed saving of native plants. While many seeds are available from commercial suppliers\, preserving seeds of the plants around you helps promote wild\, local ecotype varieties over cultivated hybrids\, which often have lower-quality nectar and pollen content. We’ll dive into why the practice of seed saving\, which dates back 1\,000 years in human history\, is so important. Learn how planting locally collected seeds can enhance native plant communities in your backyard and the wildlife these habitats support. \nSaving and cultivating your own seeds is easy to do\, but knowing what kinds of seeds to save\, what they look like\, when to harvest them\, how to process and prepare them for storage is crucial to ensure successful germination. You’ll leave this class with the resources and knowledge to save seeds next growing season. \nPresenters:\nDonna Miller\, UNH Extension Advanced Master Gardener\nStacey Scaccia\, UNH Extension Master Gardener \nLogistics:\nThis in-person workshop will take place both indoors and outdoors.
