In 2014, New Hampshire Audubon will turn 100 years old.
Beginning in the new year the organization will be holding a variety of events and programs to mark the occasion. There will be a Birthday Bash on Feb. 15, a special Centennial Edition Earth Day Celebration, a historic Farm Day, a series of programs conducted by former staff and a festive gala in November.
To keep track of these events and celebrate nature for the whole year, a 2014 commemorative wall calendar has been created. Beautiful photographs of Audubon sanctuaries, local wildlife and people enjoying time outdoors highlight Audubon’s accomplishments from the past century. Short stories about conservation milestones and Audubon’s vital role in protecting the natural environment of the state compliment the images.
Each week plant, animal and celestial activities that can be observed are listed as a way to encourage people to get outside and enjoy nature.
The calendars can be purchased at the McLane Audubon Center in Concord, the Massabesic Audubon Center in Auburn, the Amoskeag Fishways in Manchester, and many independent bookstores across the state or via the NH Audubon website: http://www.nhaudubon.org/nature-store/product-listing.
