| Sunday, October 6, 2013 2:00 am EDT |  Pink Kioti UTV RaffleOnly a few more days to buy your tickets!!! Batchelder Sales of Lebanon, Me and Route 1 Tractor Sales of North Hampton, NH have been selling raffle tickets for a PINK KIOTI UTV this summer. 100% of the ticket sales will go to benefit local women and families in the area. MY BREAST CANCER SUPPORT is a 501c3 nonprofit organization working with area hospitals providing tangible, practical and emotional support to breast cancer patients in the greater seacoast NH and Maine area. This organization helps local patients with household assistance, living expenses, wellness programs, travel scholarships and family support. They work hard to fulfill a last wish. Over these months we have met so many wonderful men and women and heard their stories. Tickets have been purchased by survivors, their family members and many who have struggled with cancer. Men have purchased nearly half of the tickets sold from our shop, everyone indicating they’d be pleased to drive this pink UTV. The UTV started its travels at Joe’s Meat Shoppe in North Hampton NH, then to the Kittery Block Party, to the East Eliot Tractor Show, Skip’s Drive-In in Amesbury, MA, the Acton Fair, the Kittery Trading Post, 5K Road Race in Portsmouth NH and Bentley’s Saloon in Arundel. Along the way there were stops at the NBarH horse shows in Barrington NH, Berry Best Open Farm Day, Route 1 Tractor Sales and at Batchelder Sales. This week the PINK KIOTI UTV can be seen at the Deerfield Fair (tickets cannot be sold at the fair). October 5th you’ll be able to find it at Dover’s Applefest (spot #21) and you will be able to purchase tickets there. Do we have anyone in particular we’d like to see win? A cancer survivor, a customer of ours or a friend. Someone with horses, or a garden, or a small farm. How cool would it be to see a big burly biker ride off on a PINK KIOTI UTV? We’re going to be sad to see it come to a conclusion, this has been a fun, personally rewarding and positive project. Special thanks to Wendy McCoole from MY BREAST CANCER SUPPORT, Alden Thayer of Batchelder Brother Ins, Bentley Warren of Bentley’s Saloon, Jen Kutz of Joe’s Meat Shoppe, Jan Hartwell of the Kittery Trading Post, Sargent’s Service Center of Rye, JT Tucker and numerous others who have helped promote this raffle and selling tickets. The drawing will take place on October 6th after the 90 mile NE Walkers for Knockers/ Ride for Hope motorcycle run, which starts at Seacoast Harley Davidson and finishes at the Red Hook Brewery. The after party ~ BreastOberfest ~ begins around 2 pm; there will be food, raffles and a live band. See you there!!!!! |

| Saturday, October 19, 2013 9:00 am EDT |  Planning for Long Term Forest Management from the Soil UpMoose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) and Branch Hill Farm (BHF) will team up to host a free forestry workshop on Saturday morning, October 19, from 9:00 to 10:30 am in Wakefield, NH. Led by BHF Forester Daniel Stepanauskas, this field workshop will focus on ‘Planning for Long Term Forest Management from the Soil Up’. Dan Stepanauskas has been a consulting forester in New Hampshire for thirty-two years. He works on the sustainable management of private and municipal forest lands using light-touch management techniques. His goal is to achieve the desired results by imitating nature‚s design. From 2000–2012, he also conducted Forest Stewardship Council certification and audits to assess the sustainability of state, tribal, and private forests in the US and Canada. Stepanauskas will talk about the world as seen through a forester’s eyes, what he looks for, what he sees, and what he desires to see in the forest. He will describe the forester’s approach to observing the world, which is careful and meticulous. After this introduction, the group will traverse the southeast side of Davies Mountain, looking at examples of the managed BHF forest. The round trip distance will be less than a mile, including a little uphill climb. Participants will learn about forests from the ground up, how it all comes from the soil. Topics will also include forests and the carbon cycle, what determines the types of trees (silviculture), and how to optimize the land for wildlife habitat. Stepanauskas has stories to share from thirty-two years in the forest but he also welcomes interactive discussion. “Tell people to bring their questions,” Dan commented. “I’d be happy to stay afterwards and talk to anyone who wants more in-depth information; if I don’t know the answer, I’ll look it up.” The workshop is free and open to the public but pre-registration is required. For more information and to pre-register, please call MMRG‚s Education Coordinator Kari Lygren at (603) 978-7125 or email info@mmrg.info. MMRG, a non-profit land conservation organization, works to conserve and connect valuable water resources, farm and forest lands, wildlife habitats, and recreational land in Brookfield, Farmington, Middleton, Milton, New Durham, Wakefield, and Wolfeboro. Throughout the year, MMRG offers many educational opportunities to inform all ages about the benefits of our region‚s natural resources. Branch Hill Farm/the Carl Siemon Family Charitable Trust works to protect open space and working forests and to educate the public about sound forestry, conservation and agricultural practices; see www.branchillfarm.org. |
