Halloween Haunted Hike

Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest College Rd, Center Harbor, NH, United States

Join the LRCC members for a spook-tacular guided hike through Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest on October 29th from 5:00-7:30 PM. This will be a fun-filled evening hike where participants can choose the path we take through the woods guided by a haunting story at each fork in the trail.

Starlight Savings Time

You asked, we answered: stargazing is back at West Rattlesnake! The shortening days and early nightfall may make this time of year seem dreary, but they’re a great chance to see the stars and still get home at a reasonable hour. We’ll hike up to the summit for a stellar view of constellations, planets, and other celestial phenomena, as well as the beautiful vista of Squam Lake at night.

Let’s Go Nuts!

Come be nutty with LRCC member Meg at Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest November 5th from 11-2PM on an Adventure Ecology that will crack you out of your shell. Learn about and ID native trees in our watershed as we enjoy an easy 2 mile walk, stopping to talk about anything nut-worthy, mast years, trees, seeds and more conversations that will drive you nutty.

Squ-inter is Coming!

Come join Peter and Meg for their last Adventure Ecology program of their AmeriCorps service at Chamberlain-Reynolds Memorial Forest.
