Keynote Program; “Something Wild” Stories; A Peek Behind the Microphone with Thoughts on NH’s Natural Heritage
NH Public Radio’s “Something Wild” feature has been exploring the intricacies of nature in NH for more than 25 years. Chris Martin and Dave Anderson have teamed up as the show’s co-hosts for the past 16 years. Together, in short radio essays, Chris and Dave take listeners to visit the state’s most interesting birds, and forests while exploring unique Granite State habitats. ‘Something Wild Stories’ — goes beyond the recording studio for a presentation filled with true stories and (a few) tall tales! Something Wild is a partnership of NH Audubon, The Forest Society and NHPR.
NHACC is proud of the work of the 217 conservation commissions in New Hampshire. These commissions provide our state with more than 1,500 committed conservation volunteers. The NHACC Conference is the state’s largest gathering of conservation commissions members. The conference offers workshops on the fundamentals of conservation commissions as well as more advanced sessions– such as: Wetlands Identification Field Trip; Conservation Strategies for Wildlife; The Case for Investing in Wildlands & Woodland & many, many more!
