Walpole, NH (February 24, 2026) – The Cheshire County Conservation District (CCCD) in partnership with the UNH Cooperative Extension, Antioch University New England, Long View Forest, and the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) is excited to announce a Forest Stewardship Workshop to be hosted Monday March 9th!

Identifying trees during the winter can be a challenge. Join UNH Cooperative Extension Foresters Dode Gladders and Steve Roberge to learn some of our cold-weather “ID Tips and Tricks.” We will focus on bark, buds, and branching, and we will go over some of our favorite books and smartphone apps as well.

Be prepared for an easy two-hour walk in the woods. Be sure to dress appropriately, wear warm boots, and bring any snacks and drinks that you may need. Because parking is limited, we will limit registration to fifteen people, so be sure to sign up soon.

Registration is free. Donations to the sponsoring organizations are welcomed and encouraged.

Tree and Shrub Identification Workshop

When: Monday, March 9th, 10AM-12PM

Where: 77 Peachblow Rd, Alstead, NH
