Conservation of land, sacred site keeps memories alive

Hike and Ice Fishing Demo at Sip Pond
Saturday, January 20, from 9 to noon
This family-friendly event takes advantage of the state's Free Ice Fishing Day, which allows anyone to fish without a license for the day. Come explore soon-to-be-conserved land on Sip Pond in Fitzwilliam and get out on the ice. Thanks to the Fitzwilliam Conservation Commission for co-sponsoring.
When there is a fresh layer of snow, it's a good time to look for tracks and droppings of cottontail rabbits. You can report your sightings to NH Rabbit Reports, a program of UNH Cooperative Extension and N.H. Fish and Game. Data collected will provide a more complete picture of the state's rabbit population and where habitat management might help them.
Thank you. What better way to start off the New Year than with a growing community of support. Your gifts, your phone calls and emails, your time in the field -- all of it makes a difference in protecting forever the land we love.
