If you want to learn about the biggest trees in New Hampshire and Northern New England then be sure to attend this presentation Tuesday evening
Wooden boatbuilder, outdoorsman and Big Tree Program measurer, Kevin Martin, will be showing and discussing these trees as described in his new book Big Trees of Northern New England.
You will hear how he got involved with finding the trees, how lumber from similar trees is used in his boatbuilding work, and how wildlife will use these impressive parts of our landscape.
The discussion will cover trees on public land in the region, and where they are located so you can go see them for yourself. He will highlight some trees local to the Dunbarton area.
Books will be available after the presentation for those interested.
The presentation is at the Dunbarton Upper Town Hall and starts at 6:30 p.m. The Upper Town Hall is located above the Dunbarton Public Library.
First-ever "Walk With a Cop"

New Trail at Bela Brook Conservation Area
There’s a new trail in the Bela Brook Conservation Area. The “Overlook Trail” begins at the public parking area at the end of Overlook Drive and connects to the rest of the Bela Brook trail network at Scipio’s cellar hole.
To find the entrance to the trail, look for the green buried utility structure with a grade stake to the right and then follow the trail markers downhill.
