Thursday Twilight Walks

Join SLCS for a series of invigorating twilight walks on select Thursday evenings in November and early December. As sunset arrives earlier and earlier, it can be tough to squeeze in after work walks, but friends don’t let friends stay inside all day just because the sun goes down at 4:30. We’ll bundle up, head outside, and discover the quiet beauty of the woods after sunset.

As a group we will visit local trails and see how the familiar takes on new character in the twilight. This is your chance to stretch your legs, clear your head, enjoy good company, and find a little wonder in this stick season. Each walk will include a special surprise– perhaps a nighttime nature discovery, a moment of unexpected magic, or a little seasonal treat to brighten the evening. You’ll have to come along to find out!

So grab your warm layers, put fresh batteries in your headlamp, lace up your boots, and bring your sense of adventure. Let’s embrace the darkness, breathe some fresh air, and keep our walking spirits bright all season long. Come for the exercise, come for the company, come for the surprise, just don’t stay inside all season. See the places you love in a different light.

Locations and trails vary. Walks will be 1-1.5 hours and cover 2-3 miles of terrain. See specific details for each walk at the registration link. These events are FREE. All are welcome. Please be sure to register in advance.

Conservation Curious Book Club

Location: Holderness Free Library, 866 US-3, Holderness

Join Squam Lakes Conservation Society and Holderness Free Library for Conservation Curious, a nonfiction book club exploring the land, water, wildlife, and the natural world that surrounds and sustains us all.

Conservation Curious will bring each book to life through experiences on the land. We will move from the pages to places to pair thoughtful conversation with walks on conserved lands, guest expert visits, field activities, and opportunities to link the themes of each book to the local landscape.

• One environmental focused nonfiction book every 6–8 weeks (w/companion resources)
• Open and welcoming discussions led by Holderness Free Library staff over a potluck at the library followed by optional informal social time with fellow readers and conservation-minded community members at a local business for mocktails/cocktails
• An experiential connection between each book and local lands guided by Squam Lakes Conservation Society staff (think interpretive walks, habitat exploration hikes, participatory science sessions or outdoor gatherings on conserved lands)

Sign up for just one or try all four! More details provided upon registration.

This event is free. All are welcome. Advance registration is required.
