March/April
Mar. 15th 7pm Saving the White Mountains: Joseph B. Walker, Phillip W. Ayers, the Weeks Act
Marcia Schmidt Blaine, historian at Plymouth State University , will explore the backgrounds and professional careers of these two early activists, and describe how passionate political and public advocacy led to the passage of the Weeks Act.

Join the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and the NH Division of Forests and Lands at the annual Cottrell-Baldwin Environmental Lecture series on Tuesday evenings in March. This year, the Cottrell-Baldwin Lecture Series explores how New Hampshire ’s scenic places and historical figures played a prominent role in the passage of the Weeks Act.

New Hampshire and the nation are now celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act, the law that created the eastern national forests, including the White Mountain National Forest . The rugged beauty of the White Mountains inspired the passage of the Weeks Act in 1911. This law gave the federal government the resources to buy land for the purpose of protecting the headwaters of navigable rivers. Without the Weeks Act, we would not have the White Mountain National Forest today. All programs start at 7 pm in the Henry I. Baldwin Environmental Center at Caroline A. Fox Research and Demonstration Forest , 309 Center Road in Hillsborough , NH .

Pre-registration is not required; contact Tina at 224-9945 ext. 313 or tripley@forestsociety.org for details and directions.
