Our heartfelt thanks to Gail McPeek, former Board member and longtime dedicated volunteer, for putting together the wonderful Nature Poetry Walk at the Etna Library this summer! The Poetry Walk has been removed for fall mowing of the Hayes Farm Park, but we know future StoryWalks will be shared in that wonderful space. Thanks to Barbara Prince at the Etna Library for coordinating this with Gail!

Signs for the Nature Poetry Walk at Etna Library are visible in a field of fall flowers and ferns.

Wooden mailbox on the summit of Balch Hill This fun mailbox on the summit of Balch Hill is filled with pens and postcards so visitors can write a note with their favorite memories of this natural area, whose summit we protected 50 years ago.

Some notes so far: “I am 7 1/2 years old and my Dad brought me here today for the first time! Thank you for keeping this place open. I love the butterflies.”

“This hike is magical. I do it weekly. We are privileged to life in such a beautiful place as this.”

“In honor of Dr. Susan Harper; a mentor and beautiful spirit whose legacy will flourish in the Upper Valley forever.” For more about Susan, visit the News page of our website.
