If you missed the wonderful iNaturalist program with Tara Schroeder from Green Mountain Conservation Group, Georgia Murray from Appalachian Mountain Club, and Haley Andreozzi from UNH Cooperative Extension, you can learn more here. Special thanks to Haley, Georgia, and Tara for doing a fantastic job of sharing with folks how to use iNaturalist and providing examples of how we can all contribute to participatory science and conservation efforts in our communities!
This program was hosted by Appalachian Mountain Club, Chocorua Lake Conservancy, Cook Memorial Library, Green Mountain Conservation Group, Tamworth Conservation Commission, and UNH Cooperative Extension.

Pollinator Week BioBlitz June 22-28, 2026: Green Mountain Conservation Group (GMCG) is partnering with the Appalachian Mountain Club to host a Pollinator Week BioBlitz across the Ossipee Watershed and beyond. A BioBlitz is a community science event where people work together to document species in a specific area over a set period of time. In this case, we’re focusing on pollinators—like bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, and other important species—and the plants they rely on. You can participate from anywhere in the Northeastern US and help collect data about pollinators and plants for the Pollinator Interactions on Plants (PIP) of the NE US project.
