New Hampshire Fish & Game transported river herring (alewives) from Amoskeag Fishway to Kimball Pond yesterday. Hopefully they will spawn, the fry go to the ocean, and return in four years. (Photos by Stan Sowle.)

The Four Seasons of Kimball Pond
If you enjoy wildlife you’ll enjoy watching this inspirational 6-minute slideshow by Conservation Commission Vice Chair Drew Groves. Click the image above to view the show on YouTube.
As you'll note, Drew spends a lot of time quietly observing and photographing the wildlife in this conservation area. The slideshow is a good reminder that even if we don't see wildlife, they are there.
As rural areas develop, undisturbed open space habitat, like our conservation areas, is critically important for the long-term survival of wild creatures.
