We are always searching for ways to increase our base of Property Manager/Naturalist volunteers, and I hope that you will consider coming to the Nature Center and Phaedra Demers getting involved. There is a job for everyone. We can use help with maintenance Teacher/Naturalist and building at our nature center and intern cabin, or perhaps you would enjoy Richard Fortin helping to maintain the trails. There is always office work in conjunction with our Trout Restoration Manager fundraisers and everyday activities. The monthly coffee hour, usually the first Board of Trustees Monday of the month at 9 AM, is where you can meet other volunteers and find a Linda Hastings, Chair project that you will enjoy. In addition to helping by volunteering, we hope you Bill Brochu, Vice-Chair will support us by attending our programs and classes.

There is so much to learn Tony Andreano about the natural environment, and Tin Mountain is a wonderful place to learn Megan Barry about and enjoy the great outdoors. Theresa Gallagher Cheryl Keator Our trails are always open, and there will be a new kiosk soon with maps of the John Keator trails. You can pick-up a map at the Nature Center or strike out on your own and Joe LaRue explore. Every season there is something new and different out on the trails. Cheryl Littlefield Sean Littlefield I look forward to seeing you at the Nature Center or on the trails.

At Tin Mountain, staff, Trustees, and members are committed to do our part to pass on lessons learned and the wisdom of using nature as a template.

School Programs

Tin Mountain school programs reached five local school districts and are an integral part of 16 schools serving about 5,000 students in the greater Mt. Washington Valley, the Ber- lin/Gorham area, and western Maine. Multiple classroom visits and field trips throughout the year greatly magnify the Dr. Michael Cline actual contact hours between naturalists and students.

Modeled after college May terms, this innovative approach high school students to examine two or three specialized topics during a month-long intensive study term. This is a unique approach that infuses excitement for learning into the end of a long school year.

School field trips are opportunities to teach natural science and become familiar with the environment in students’ own back- yards, and teacher/naturalists adapt lessons to incorporate trips to local natural areas and discuss historic land uses. Because the Board of Trustees is committed to providing quality environ- mental education programs at an affordable price, Tin Moun- tain school programs are offered at half the actual cost to pres- ent; the Board and staff fundraises to cover the remaining costs.

Tin Mountain programs don’t stop at the end of the school day. Many local communities have well-established after-school programs in which Tin Mountain participates. It’s a perfect time of day to explore the natural world. Many of the schools have terrific school yards replete with forests, fields, and trails, with views of Mt. Washington and other inspiring peaks, and even an occasional pond to explore.

The best barometer of successful Tin Mountain pro- gramming is membership and the Annual Fund Drive. Over the past year, Tin Mountain membership has con- tinued to grow, and the Trustees and staff have redoubled their efforts to attract new members to the organization by providing tangible reasons for members to sustain their membership. The Rockwell Society is a sustain- ing membership alternative that automatically pays a pre-determined membership level in secure monthly installments from a member’s credit card. In addition, the new membership webpage provides easy ways to be- come members and to donate to the different programs Suzy Engler Camp Scholarship Fund at Tin Mountain.
