Walk the Watershed of Lake Warren

  • 5 Gilsum Mine Rd Alstead, NH, 03602 United States (map)

With: Sarah Webb

Class Fee: Free / registration required

Class Size: 15 / Adults and children accompanied by an adult

Join us for a walk of discovery as we learn about the flow of water into Lake Warren from the springs, streams, tributaries and wetlands that make up this watershed. We will learn about the natural movement of water and how it has created an aquatic landscape that supports life that we all value.

We will meet in East Alstead at the Four Corners by Fuller Machine Shop on Saturday morning at 9:30. Participants should park along North Road at the junction with Route 123 near the church.

The walk will not be strenuous.

This event is co-sponsored by the Lake Warren Association, the Alstead Conservation Commission and Chase’s Mill.

Sarah Webb has lived in Alstead for over thirty years--not quite a native, but it will do. She has lived here long enough to get a degree in science from Keene State College and to take several courses in botany and ecology at Antioch New England Graduate School. She has enjoyed leading field trips for New Hampshire Audubon in this region, as well as participating in field surveys for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Plum Island and New England Wildflower Trust. Currently she is the chair of the Alstead Conservation Comission and a member of the Lake Warren Association.
