It’s Not About the Hike
Monday, October 17 at 6:30 pm at the Conway Public Library

This presentation “highlights the journey of two 50+ year old non-hikers who one day decided to climb the 67 mountains in New England over 4,000 feet. Nancy Sporborg and Pat Piper are two ordinary women who went on an extraordinary journey over the mountain summits and into their hearts. This is the story of what they found inside themselves as they hiked over 1,000 miles to the tops of over 170 mountains through all four seasons. Theirs is not a story of look at us…we did this. It is a story of look inside you…you can do this too.” See http://www.its-not-about-the-hike.com/ for more information.

Saving the Mountains: New Hampshire and the Creation of the National Forests
Thursday, November 3 at 7 pm at the Madison Library

In 2011, New Hampshire and the nation will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act, the law that created the eastern national forests. New Hampshire’s White Mountains played a leading role in events leading to the act. Focusing on Concord’s Joseph B. Walker and the Forest Society’s Philip Ayres, Marcia Schmidt Blaine, Plymouth State University, will explore the relationship between our mountains and individuals who worked to protect them.
