Annual Meeting
January 28, 2012 • 9am-3:30pm
 Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, Northwood

Mark your calendars for a day of good food, fun, and news of our land conservation efforts.

Our guest speaker is Kristine Rines, Moose Project Leader for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, a position she has held since 1985. Her presentation: New Hampshire’s Moose, Past, Present and Future, a rousing review of moose in the state, life history, population changes, New Hampshire moose research and management, and a sneak peek at what the future may hold. Kris has many interesting and entertaining stories. Don’t miss this moose story.

The annual meeting will again be held at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, although a few weeks earlier than usual to avoid February town meeting days in some of our member towns. Don’t miss all the fun of our annual meeting that includes a re-cap of the year’s land conservation efforts, a fundraising raffle, a hearty potluck lunch, and an afternoon snowshoe hike – this year in search of moose sign. Bear-Paw welcomes donations from artists, writers, and craftspeople for this fundraising effort. Please contact Daniel Kern at 463.9400 or one of our Board Members if you’d like to make a contribution to the raffle. Moose-related items would be particularly fitting for this year’s raffle. Thanks for considering a donation and we look forward to seeing you in January and perhaps before at another Bear-Paw or community event.

Snowshoe Fieldtrip
February 25, 2012 • 1-3:30pm
Cahill Easement, Strafford

Please join Frank Mitchell, Bear-Paw Board member, for a walk/snowshoe on the Ella Cahill Easement in Strafford. We will explore the property and maybe nearby conservation lands looking for animal tracks and other signs of life amid the snow.
