Last Sunday eight of us
walked the outer loop of the Cossingham Road Farm trails. It was a
gem of a day; summer warm but not hot with just enough breeze to keep
us insect free. Blackberries were blossoming here and there and some
of the summer wildflowers, such as the blue eyed grass, made several
appearances. The woods were quiet, beautiful and peaceful; our many
conversations the only sounds. The last part of the trail was an easy
downhill along a pasture with a wonderful view of Moose, Smarts, Cube
and Moosilauke Mountains in front of us. As one of us said along the
way ” I haven’t hiked with a group in a long time. It’s nice.”
Sharing seems to add to the pleasure. Join us some Sunday.

Celebrating
a Community’s Forest in Corinth
New energy is growing out of a
generous gift of land from Sue Shea to the Town of Corinth,
honoring her late husband Frank. The new F.X. Shea Town Forest, as
the 94 acre property will be known, truly is a community resource.
As Val Stori, the Town Forest’s new coordinator, said to the nearly
50 people at the June 12, 2011 dedication ceremony, “this is your forest!”
The Corinth Conservation Commission and newly-formed Town Forest
Committee will work with Stori to plan events, work on day to day
management, and promote the forest as an educational
resource.
