WMC 2026!! We want to extend a huge thank you to all of the participants of our 10th annual Westmore Mountain Challenge! We cannot believe it has been ten years!! Once again we lucked out with a combo of peak fall foliage, a huge full harvest moon, and the near miss of a nor’easter to make for a beautiful day out on the trails! This day would not have been possible without the support of so many folks, including our amazing volunteers, sponsors, staff and of course the hikers! Your determination and happy faces are what keep this event going year after year! Thank you! If you participated and want to share your photos of the day, tag us NorthWoods Stewardship Center or with .

9am – 4:30pm @ the NorthWoods Lodge

A two-day immersion in beaver ecology and river science, with a focus on the relationship between beavers, watershed health, and flood resilience. A combination of field trips, discussions, and classroom instruction, this retreat is for those who want to understand the complex role that beavers play in creating ecosystems, managing water, and sometimes causing headaches for humans along the way.

Two full days of learning and exploring why beavers are important partners in towns dealing with floods.

Instructed by Patti Smith of Bonnyvale Environmental Education Center, Skip Lisle of Beaver Deceivers International, and NorthWoods Educator Courtney Guinane.

On-site camping available at NorthWoods – suggested $25 donation, available as an add-on during registration.

We are seeking volunteers to help us with a bindweed removal project on the Connecticut River in Northumberland, NH!

Bindweeds are aggressive, persistent perennial vines known for smothering other plants when left unchecked.

Healthy floodplain forests on the Connecticut River and mature silver maples go hand in hand, but bindweed can limit regeneration in these zones.

We need your help pulling and/or digging bindweed from our restoration site!

Please consider joining us for a few hours on September 11th from 9am - 1pm on a project in partnership with the Connecticut River Conservancy and The Nature Conservancy along the Connecticut River in Northumberland, NH.

Volunteers will be meeting at the Polish Princess in Lancaster, NH between 9am and 9:30am to fuel up with delicious coffee and pastries before we group up to carpool and head out to the site!

If you are interested in helping us out, please RSVP to Maria Young: [email protected].

Plan to bring: your lunch, plenty of water, gloves and workwear, hiking boots and/or rubber boots, extra layers, and rain, sun and bug protection.

We will be providing the hand tools such as shovels, loppers, and hand snips, but feel free to bring a leatherman or pocket multitool if you'd like!

You don't need to be a restoration expert to help restore a watershed.

You just need a clean shovel. 😉

On September 29th, we're looking for volunteers to help plant native trees and shrubs along Cemetery Brook in Greensboro.

We'll provide the plants and guidance. You bring:

🪏 A clean shovel
🥾 Clean boots
💧 Water
🌦️ Weather-appropriate clothing
💪 A willingness to get your hands dirty

We'll handle lunch.

It's four hours of work that will leave a lasting mark on the Caspian Lake watershed.

Come plant with us.

👉 Tell us you're coming in the comments!
